Pros

Financially, benefits and salary are fair. The work schedule is a every other Friday off

Cons

The organization is very top heavy. The solution is to higher more directors and VPs to talk about getting the work done instead of hiring the correct staff to get the work done. Overall, the common employee phrase to describe the environment is "toxic"

Pros

Pay Employees well, but expect a minimum of 10% overtime Benefits are good In theory, you get every Friday off, see comment #1

Cons

Tend to promote unfit employees High senior level management turnover No accountability of poor performance - although could be a "pro" if you're an under achiever

Pros

In Milwaukee... The end product is for naval applications, which is simply awesome! If the company kept to their commitments and truly operated the way it sells itself, it would be great.

Cons

Unfortunately they don't keep their word. 9/80 schedule is a lie, it's used as a recurring tool. Immediately you are forced into measurable 10+ hour days and shunned if you take the off Friday's. From May through July 2016 they took away the off Friday and played games with all salaried employees. This was done on guise of "catching up". The reality was that the executive staff could not manage the the programs and their output. One groups behind, they all should suffer mentality. The quality system is out of control and simply not managed. Operations has no vision of improvement and continue to make the same mistakes over and over. The worse performers are promoted and paid to stay otherwise they would have complete turnover in all positions all the time. The place is a gem with so much potential for greatness if the leadership could learn from their mistakes. Because of the ring knocking cronyism at the leadership level they cycle through the executive and management level staff like nothing I've ever seen in my career. With this constant changeover there is never a consistent or sustainable direction which creates its own level churn. The business performance metrics is pitiful and in "real" businesses would be unacceptable!
