I hate my job.

Pros

1) Can learn skills and gain work experience in various aspects of composite manufacturing if motivated to. 2) They gave me a decent paying job despite many character and personality flaws. 3) Always hiring. 4) Often have opportunities for overtime. 5) When I was hired I was told there was no chance I'd be working swing shift. 6) Short commute if you live in Sedro Woolley, or Lyman/Hamilton for the Hamilton plant.

Cons

1) You can only learn everything if your properly motivated and a certain type of person. 2) In order to overcome those flaws I had to get an engineering degree then take a tech job. 3) Always laying-off. 4) Often overtime is mandatory. 5) After 2 weeks I was told on a Friday to show up on Monday for swing shift, a fellow employee was told on a Tuesday that he was supposed to have been on swing shift starting the day before. 6) An hour commute for me. Additional: Training is lax, after just a couple days you're expected to know your job well enough to do it on your own, I know guys who've been there over a year but still have no idea what they're doing and then are berated when they make mistakes. Cost cutting seems to be a priority over making a quality product. They claim to be a family company, and will arrange for you to see your family once in a while at your own expense.

Pros

A lot of opportunities to get hands on experience in many areas. The role of Project Engineers allows for extensive cross training in various areas of engineering. Typically engineers are allowed to own their work from cradle to grave and manage themselves. Recently started allowing 9/80 schedules.

Cons

Work life balance is non-existent and the company is growing in a fashion that this will likely not change anytime soon. Nepotism is rampant and there is zero diversity. Of they 11 executives 10 are white men, the one white women is head of HR (the HR department is 100% women). The owners incorporate their personal political opinions and religious beliefs in your work life.
