      Pros

      Best opportunity for advancement, good benefits, hardware electronics is probably the best environment I have seen in 50 years of experience, management is also best. Company values are superior to most companies, especially if you believe in God and family. This is a VERY pro USA company with a feeling of family. Excellent retirement, insurance, vacation. Great people to work with with broad range of experience, especially mechanical and electronics hardware.

      Cons

      Different groups fight to impose their importance. Software is always competing with engineering for budget. Production is always competing with engineering for product responsibility. This needs to be addressed as it is unfair to those of us that are dedicated to our jobs.

      Pros

      Your get a paycheck and benefits

      Cons

      You will need those benefits to pay for your nervous breakdown. Accounting dept in particular. I have never worked so many hours and felt so unappreciated. They could not pay me enough to stay. Mgrs are bullies and not just a few. I even transferred to another dept within accounting and it's pretty much the same. The only people who are successful here are jerks.

      Pros

      Clean facilities. Great company name on your resume profile. Good benefits. Generous amount of holidays that stacks up with 9/80 schedule. VERY flexible work hours thanks to their leave system.

      Cons

      Company is notorious for low-balling employees. How internal bid process to other position within company works is ridiculous. Management is extremely poor. Your hard work goes unnoticed. Almost NO chance to advancement or cross training to expand your resume and skills. My co-workers here are doing everything they can to leave the company, because they cannot bear to work there any longer. Talks of outsourcing is always present, resulting in extremely low morale and outlook among employees.
