Pros

I was never bored. Plenty of problems needed attention and it was fun trying to help the plants run better. I enjoyed talking to customers to learn how different power plants operated.

Cons

The company was focused on growth which paid off when it was sold in 2011 to Energy Capital Partners. Unfortunately the rapid growth mode lead to shortcuts that hurt future sales when customers expectations were not met. The publicly available information shows sales had been declining in the few quarters until it went private. Many of my co-workers have left or have been let go to cut costs

Pros

The work was challenging and offered time to interact with many various clients.

Cons

However, the work / life balance was not there and often the expectations were beyond reasonable. There were times of short orders and turnover of investors. There did not seem to be investment in the employees.

Pros

My co-workers were pretty fun and laid-back. Didn't really have an issue with the guys I saw every day. The work was boring but it was easy enough.

Cons

Like I said in the title, I knew going in that working in the warehouse wasn't going to be fun. It was hot in the summer and always dusty. The worst part though was no one seemed to know what was going on or really cared. I've worked a lot of jobs but the supervisors just pushed to crank out the modules and didn't care if we did a good job or not. I don't think it was really my supervisors fault because his boss was the one that kept pushing. I think this came from the top. I got tired pretty quickly of trying to offer suggestions on how to do things better. This was definitely a job you knew you'd leave as soon as you found something better and thank God I did. It was sad when they'd just fire someone and walk them out the door that minute but at the same time you knew that man would end up with something better and it was really a blessing to get canned for some guys.
