Pros

Great flexibility & work/life balance. Average pay.

Cons

Had co-worker(s) leave and had to pick up their work, yet my position was never reclassified to increase pay for doing more than what I was doing when they were here. The "merit" based increases are a mere slap in the face. Management is too busy for internal lunches (why not just let someone else take the lead if you're too busy instead of literally cancelling them every time they occur because you got "busy"). Same thing for meetings and following up on email from staff. I get that you're "busy" but if you can't make time for your own people, why stick around? Like several other people said before, "Current events have shown leadership have little regard for employees or current events. Almost no mention of racial tensions or BLM." Office leaders think traditionally in that everyone has to be in person for work and collaboration to get done. One of my former co-workers that went to a different "power tool" engineering firm says working remotely has made them MORE productive. What's the rush in getting everyone back in the office when people continue to get sick & die!?! As I work with customers quite often, I'm rarely in the office. I feel a major disconnect from the company which definitely doesn't help matters much. The pandemic has also shown me that the company isn't diversified enough and too dependent upon state transportation funding (reason why merit increases weren't applied for almost 5 months after the original date). Become more diversified and reward your employees better.
