      Pros

      1. Not much regulatory and paperwork relative to other industries. 2. Decent crew. 3. You are (largely) left alone to get it done.

      Cons

      1. Inefficient environment and infrastructure for technical throughput. 2. Line managers emasculated by old-line depts, Accounting, HR etc (which impacts technical efficiency). 3. Not much integration of technical disciplines - each dept is a silo. 4. Plant is out in the Wild Woods of Western Waukesha. If you don't live there, sanity-check your likely commute.

      Pros

      Nice people. Decent benefits. Quarterly bonus structure. HR manages benefits internally (not outsourced) - so they're available onsite to assist with questions.

      Cons

      Unrealistic expectations. More concerned about hitting deadlines so upper management gets their bonuses than the actual success of a project. Although it's been a publicly held company for a while, it's still very much in transition. The company has an extremely aggressive growth plan but is lacking basic fundamentals to get them there. Small company mindset - they don't even realize what they don't know. Expected to constantly travel between plants without any kind of reimbursement. Micromanagement at all levels, even the executive level. Not open to flexible work options (working remote).
