      Pros

      Great Location in San Diego Stable Parent Company in Caterpillar Good pay and benefits for entry level positions Trying to do better with diversity and inclusion Strong customer base and market share Low Emissions Products help environment

      Cons

      Yearly raises (usually 2-4%) don't match rising cost of living in CA year over year. Company will need to pivot with inevitable shift towards renewable energy. Slow to innovate and bring new products to market. Dehumanizing layoff process for senior employees. Example: Some with 25+ years of service are kicked to the curb with a quick video call with HR. Third party drops off employee personal belongings just like a bad break up. Hard to watch hard-working guys who deserve a retirement celebration get treated like criminals.
