Pros

We're a company with a purpose, and we're actively involved in supplying critical drones. We value our employees and offer competitive salaries and benefits packages. If your under paid threaten to leave and they will give you a raise. We're a team of passionate individuals who are all working towards a common goal. Just don't cross or get on the bad side of certain people and watch your back as there are snakes embedded within.

Cons

The GM/COO, Matt Torzewski still bounces between two locations while trying to be COO, This lack of stability creates confusion and uncertainty for employees. He only works for Corporate now and doesn't care about the site personnel only his bonus. I doubt the doors will stay open in certain other facilities that continue to be mismanaged. Bonuses promised in January have yet to materialize. This lack of follow-through on commitments is disheartening but typical from his leadership, there is always an ulterior motive, but rest assured he will ensure he is covered before anyone else. The focus seems to be on one major client (Drone company) at the expense of other long time clients. This creates a sense of neglect for other customers, leading to dissatisfaction and very angry customer phone calls (conveniently he is never around). Additionally, credit for accomplishments isn't being shared effectively, with some feeling their contributions are overlooked. There's a perception that the leadership is no longer as accessible or focused on employee well-being. Its all about cash and getting drones out the door each week. Seems to be the only thing they care about prioritizing over tenured customers, and it doesn't seem right. High turnover, personnel seem to keep leaving or getting fired. I hope this review provides constructive feedback. A more transparent and supportive leadership approach would be greatly appreciated. And pay our bonuses that we have earned.
