Pros

SEL is situated in a very close-knit community. Few of the 900 or so employees 'commute' in the traditional sense that many experience in large cities/suburbs. The managers/supervisors are all extremely dedicated to their work and subordinates. I not only felt as if I was treated with respect, but felt my ideas were valued. I was allowed to take my won ideas, and move forward with them, actually getting to be involved in 'real' work as a first year intern in Accounting.

Cons

The pay scale offered (at least in the Finance dept) seems a bit under par. I made friends with many of the other 30 interns (mostly electrical engineering), and of course one student to the next, intern pay was shared. Other than the sub-prime pay, there really is not much anyone could plan to complain about with this company.

Pros

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories has a great emphasis on personal growth and provides many training opportunities. The company is growing at a phenomenal rate and everyone benefits from the new job opportunities that are constantly opening. SEL provides a great benefits package including an employee stock option retirement program. SEL has a great commitment to quality and we are always working to improve our existing and new products, to exceed our customers' expectations.

Cons

SEL provides very little time off which is kind of a downer. Only 6 holidays are recognized per year and vacation time is minimal. SEL also has a tendency to take resources away from important products to work on frivolous projects.
