Pros

- Decent pay and benefits, although the sales incentives are nothing exciting. - Core hours, allowing a somewhat flexible schedule. - Great coworkers and a strong sense of camaraderie. - If you get good team leaders and managers and manage to hold onto them, it can be a great place to work, if not...

Cons

- Micromanagement - the worst I have ever seen. It's as though they're trying to justify the need for their positions, and it actually hinders our success. - Multiple sweeping changes in structure and procedures every year. It doesn't matter if we tried it before and it didn't work, and we will do a complete 180 degree turnaround within nine months. - Even with all the changes and attempts at improvement, the bureaucracy is consistent. - It does no good to be truthful when asked for input from managers. They only hear what they want to hear. You play their game the way the want you to, or you fear for your job.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
