Business Outlook

Pros

Good Bens, pay is average for the industry, local management is visable to the field, nice equipment and facilities, large continued investment in the R&D process, overall good company to work for if you are willing to put in the time.

Cons

Advancement more often then not is based on who you know versus what you know, upper management seems to be disconnected with operation levels, quick to pull the rug out when thing slow down instead of riding the storm a bit before making quick judgements. Employees are view as numbers and reductions are need decisions reflect that fact.
