Not a good place to work if you are 50 or older.

Pros

Salaries are reasonable. Workload keeps you busy but excessive overtime is not required. Work has the potential to be interesting with opportunities for process improvement and automation. Both would be excellent growth opportunities.

Cons

Management is disingenuous and secretive. They play favorites (particularly to younger employees) giving them more opportunities for growth and choice assignments. They do not foster teamwork and are not open to ideas that are not their own. They micromanage the detail. They do not mentor but instead dictate. I would not recommend it to a friend as a good place to work.

Pros

Not too many pros. This company is the Junior Varsity of KC's more established engineering companies.

Cons

Numerous, but overall nothing is done well. Every department hates every other department. One department with a long history of questionable actions/employees continues to do the same things with replacement people. It's hard to get motivated here. It's just a job and don't trust anyone.

Pros

There are some great people!

Cons

Toxic leadership, lack of direction, bad business decision-making, old-school mentality, and lack of diversity in a big way. Several leaders cause drama and confusion, which creates an ineffective and toxic environment.
