Pros

The product going out the door needed to be of the highest quality since the pumps were going to be used on Navy subs, so the importance of quality was usually felt throughout the plant. Small facility. They were very flexible with my schedule and my needs. Very little overtime or extra hours required.

Cons

It was an older workforce and sometimes those individuals that were "retired in place" were allowed to get away with not doing their jobs. The benefits got more expensive every year. The I.T. Department was non-extent, so efforts made to make changes and improvements were for naught. Always consumed at the end of the month with what milestone dollars they could take. Perhaps some better planning throughout the entire month could have alleviated that rush.

Pros

They are a good company but are in flux. Many management changes at the top. I've been told that I would no longer recognize the company!

Cons

Uncertainty and risk due to the management changes. Current economic climate makes things unclear. Management is competent but sometimes does not put "people first".
