Pros

Interesting work with some interesting technical aspects. Small company with family like environment feel . Good quality product. Knowledgeable and hard working people. A good sense of pride manufacturing their product. The insurance package is decent and a 10 day vacation package.

Cons

The company is in constant chaos in terms of on time delivery as they are very late with their commitments with no urgency to fix that. Financials were marginal. The majority of work came from military, which posed a major risk in terms of financial heath stability for the company. Complacent, short visioned, and mediocre general management that held back the company from greatness. Management has been there for over thirty years, thus being stuck in the old way of doing things (1980s). I saw typewriters being used still. Pay is below average for management and very low for line workers. A new CEO is running the company now. He is making some changes to make the company more appealing for probably to be sold.

Pros

Excellent salaries for people they need (since frozen) Great view of canyon park Former HGS employees treated well (HGS is out of business)

Cons

Look at the office, 30% of the space is used for 90% of the staff. Tiny noisy cubicles Office space is a metaphor for businesses practices: it cost as much time and money to band-aid the space as they would have spent gutting it and making it right. Use your vacation before leaving, company policy is against paying it out.

Pros

Small company little drama. Family atmosphere. Interesting product. Some innovation. Long tradition. Some people have been there over 35 years.

Cons

Below average pay, old dirty facilities and technology, no growth potential with skilled training, production is disorganized, late to ship out product, no pay increases, recent layoffs and downsizing, Mentality stuck in the past and not in what is ahead. The new CEO is the company owner's ax man. He is arrogant and rude.
