Pros

Pays a decent salary and you can get some real engineering experience while looking elsewhere for a real engineering job. Tons of equipment to use on the Maplewood campus.

Cons

No benefits included at the job. Would have been nice to have some health-care or retirement package to keep employees interested in the company. Many old timers are expected to retire early due to the economy.

Pros

Benefits & product discounts, research databases

Cons

It is a "Boys" club that does not treat women or non-technical degrees the same as engineers
