Pros

Parking Ramp onsite, lots of vacant positions available for upward mobility whether you are really qualified or not. Many opportunities for Caucasian males willing to bide sometime and put in so-so effort.

Cons

"Compensation Team" that the company keeps referring to consists largely of unexperienced high school grads who are tasked with assigning pay rates to those with advanced degrees. Historically, the private industry salary outpaces that of academia, however, it appears this company has it backwards as the nearby University of Minnesota offers more competitive starting salaries. Instead of hiring qualified individuals roles are given to those who will do it for the least pay regardless of if they are qualified or entirely new to the role. Attrition has to be nearing 50% over the past year or so largely due to the pay being so very low.

Pros

Flexibility and the actual work is very fun and interesting.

Cons

Awful starting salaries and no raises to go with it. There is no growth and management doesn't even bother to try and advocate for you.

Pros

Great starting experience, can open many doors for you at other companies who will pay more for your talents developed here. Wonderful hard working coworkers who remain positive through tough deadlines and long hours. Great work life balance for anyone not working on the production line.

Cons

The company promotes EPIC values, which are just corporate human resources BS that everyone plays along with but nobody actually believes. Very authoritarian in policy. Demanding employees make medical decisions that could effect their long term health or be terminated from the company. Consistently pays under market value for almost all positions.
