Pros

The compensation isn't too bad. The physical requirements are pretty low as well. Most of the people are easy to get along with.

Cons

The level of competence of the site managers is extremely varied. Some managers are very good and care about their employees. Others only see a people as a resource that needs to be managed.

Pros

I like the fact, that if you work hard and you are willing to relocate, you have the potential to go extremley far in this great company. It's not about how long you have been around, it's about how well you do your job.

Cons

Sometimes, we run too lean. I know that we should do more with less, but at what point does it hurt the organization.

Pros

Strong team environment. Many leadership opportunities if you are looking to advance your career. Management will always seek to promote from within first before looking externally. No limit to the amount of resources availabile, which is important to the technical community. Outstanding corporate reputation makes networking and working with suppliers and universities very easy. Overall, a great sense of pride and honor to come to work every day.

Cons

Salaries tend to stagnate too much, and as a result, compensation is on the low end. I will clarify that it is possible to get promotions in grade level, but organic salary increases do not come close to being hired in at a higher grade level. Incentive programs are not effective. Top level technical performers are not compensated or rewarded to the same percentage as top level sales staff because there are no good set of metrics to measure and compensate the technical employee.
