Pros
- On-Board training and work standards foster excellent work habits and industry best practices in the areas of documentation, review, and book-keeping - Company mission statement is inspiring - Floor engineers are pleasant to work with
Cons
-Very little design work. Clientele may vary greatly, however, much of the work is monotonous. -Development software faces growing pains while it changes owners, as a result a great deal of time is spent on the phone with support and waiting for patches. -High turn-over rate; 11 employees left over 2 years time. -Management is unstable; the company has endured several company-wide restructuring events to solidify project planning and work delegation. -Upper management is a nightmare to work with. -There is no check or balance to the HR department which is unfortunate because its quite common for the HR department to make inappropriate comments or address private issues without tact or sensitivity. -To improve autonomy, many responsibilities of the project manager have been delegated to the floor engineer -This is not a 40-hour a week job; working the 8AM-5PM shift is frowned upon it's more common to work 9AM-6:45PM on a slow day and 9AM-7:30PM if a deadline is approaching. -Trying to maintain a balance between work and home life is a serious offense; this company is your family and your life from the day you are hired to the day you are fired.
