Pros

-Good work/life balance -Intersting project work

Cons

-There is still very much a "good ol' boys club' culture. Advancement opportunities are given to employees who attend the right churches. Strong resistance to diversity and inclusion efforts throughout various levels in the organization. - Experience outside of the company is not valued, it is seen by many as a negative -Benefits, specifically health insurance, is very poor. Compensation is okay for the area, but raises are small (2% on average) and promotions happen about every 5-7 years.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
