      Pros

      Strong technology and engineering capabilities in a niche marketplace, Elma could become influential and a leader if it could overcome its own myopia.

      Cons

      Certain sacred entities exist within the organization that no one dares challenge, even with evidence to the contrary. It's like trying to explain that the world is round when some management employees have decided the world is flat. Nothing will change their minds. Nothing.

      Not a place for a talented and ambitious person.

      Pros

      You practically have to commit a capital crime to lose your job at Elma.

      Cons

      Senior management micromanages all facets of life. Pay is 40% less than industry standards. No chance for meaningful advancement. Medical insurance and benefits are bare bones. Key employees are starting to leave because of low pay and a frustrating work environment. A 3% - 4% pay raise was just given to employees. This was the first pay raise in two years. Maybe it is time to do something.

      Pros

      its a job but they do not care enough about the employees especially in Lathrop. Not much of a career opportunity

      Cons

      the people who run the company don't care Lathrop is like the redheaded step child we get all the work and none of the credit. Lathrop is treated like crap compared to Fremont
