Pros

If you don’t know a lot or are just out of welding school this place will work with you and help you learn. Very comfortable work environment where you are not rushed.

Cons

The pay is low, benefits are not as good as everyone says. Opportunity for advancement is nonexistent. To management you are just a cog in a machine. OT is not always available

Pros

Great Benefits. Relaxing work environment. Great leadership. Very open, financially, with employees.

Cons

Subjective - Location. If you like Crystal Lake or the surrounding area you will really enjoy working for this company. If you don't want to live anywhere near there it may become a hassle for you.
