Pros

The Products are first class, the Li-ion Technology is the best out there. For young college grads, there are a lot of exellent opportunities. They have the ability to produce exciting new products, quickly.

Cons

The lack of respect for the field sales force is evident by the amount of turnover... Moving most of the manufacturing to China, hurts the Company w/ the name like "Milwaukee"

Pros

Outstanding benefits Casual work environment Work life balance Family friendly Pays well and if you are a performer you will be recognized and rewarded. MET is extremely innovative and cutting edge. Not just in the products they produce but they type of culture they have developed. They think big and allow their employees to make decisions, take risks and make mistakes. If you take a risk and make a mistake, you are expected to learn from it but you are congratulated for trying. They also have fantastic family outings every year. Everyone works hard but plays hard. It's a very candid culture. People give you honest feedback and there are never any pink elephants in our meetings. It's very fast paced with very little red tape. It's a fun and exciting company to work for.

Cons

Feedback on performance needs to be year round not just at review time.
