Pros

None, no competitive salary or benefits.

Cons

Terrible management, they hire friends and then lean on seasoned employees to pick up the work after them. During my employment I witnessed multiple employees of 20+ years at the company leave. Not retire. Leave the company for a different company. Limited growth. No one at the Columbus branch knows how to train. So if it's your fist job out of college you will severely struggle. They won't work with you. Instead save their butt and fire you saying you were the problem. Putting a black mark on your resume. Management doesn't walk through to check in on things only sits in office or stays home to work from home while you do all the work.

Pros

Good PTO I personally had a great manager , but most will treat you like garbage I had some wonderful co workers - until they all quit

Cons

They do not back fill positions - they just re distribute the work to already overworked and well underpaid employees. If they do actually add a body to a team, they won’t officially train you, mistakes and getting berated for them will teach you the job. They call it “burn to learn”. It’s ridiculous… 0-1% raises since 2018 make it just that much worse. The only valuable thing about this place is the intelligence of the engineers- to which management won’t listen to which is so sad. The absolute worse part, yes it gets worse (I know right?!?) aside from the terrible profit driven CEO- the politics of the office will be enough to drive you crazy . Too much drama, not enough leadership, and low pay and nothing but empty promises of promotions and raises.

Pros

I enjoyed the people I worked with.

Cons

I was hired for an entry level position and there was little help given and absolutely no training was provided. Very unorganized company and management is terrible.
