      Pros

      They offer competitive salaries. Environment is friendly among the staff.

      Cons

      You are expected to work many many extra hours and they are not always paid. I'd say that maybe half the time they are paid. And even when you are allowed to bill those extra hours, they are never time and a half. Always regular billed hours.

      Good company if you are a conservative

      Pros

      Family culture and if you fit the conservative culture you can be at home here.

      Cons

      The culture was not diverse. In most high tech companies in the area there are employees from all over the world. Not so here. While the culture was pro family, both the employee's families and creating a "we are family" sense, there was no concern for work life balance. Part of that is the nature of the business and part of it was a management choice.

      Great place for salary employees, but contract workers beware

      Pros

      I worked at Prime Controls as an Automation Specialist on contract, and was laid off after 8 months. They claimed they didn't have any work available to keep me around. During the interview 8 months earlier, they had claimed to have plenty of work that they had to borrow people from other locations, and never had laid off anyone. Both are no longer true. During the 8-month period, Prime Controls hired 3 Automation Specialists on salary and several technicians for the Houston office. I can only assume their other locations grew similarly. Furthermore, they recently opened an office in Tempe, AZ (an e-mail with the subject line "Here we grow again" addressed that). Sounded like a company that wasn't downsizing. What I didn't realize was that some jobs were to be cut to facilitate growth, including mine. So long as you're on salary, you're safe no matter the offense. An Automation Specialist at the Houston office frequently slept at his desk. I know that because my desk was behind his. He snored loudly. Did he get laid off? Absolutely not!

      Cons

      The manager justified my layoff by claiming (repeatedly) that he had lost his job in the past. He didn't specify how many times it had happened to him, so it's a fair assumption that it was only one time for him. This is my 4th layoff! He then added insult to injury by telling me to treat this time as long vacation. How am I supposed to go on vacation when I'm broke and have no income?!! He also tried to play psychiatrist by insisting that I should get how I felt off my chest. How would it help? I'm out of a job, with no income to support my family. I was also informed by same manager that Aerotek would be notified if I'm to be needed back at Prime Controls. This is a clear message that Prime Controls has no intention of ever bringing me in permanently.
