Pros

Like anywhere you had some people who were really good to work with, the pay was good and the management was really good about being fair and treated you like a person.

Cons

The only con that I have is that at times my workload would take a good chunk of my personal time away. Let's be honest - who wants that?!

Pros

Good benefits, fair salary, friendly atmosphere, very skilled people working withn this company.

Cons

Overall a good place to work but I would agree with the earlier comments about the work/ life balance. If you expect to excel you will be working in excess of 45-50 hours per week with limited time for vacation. Especially true in the engineering groups. The situation is so bad that employees were told by the director to refrain from vacation during a 4 month long shutdown. Other cons are minimal but there has been a shift in morale over the past couple of years due to certain key management individuals and promotions.

Pros

People are chilled and helpful. Not to mention the Friday happy hours which is a great time to interact with different ppl and socialize.

Cons

None, nonething, sometimes processes are bit time consuming.
