Pros

Decent benefits 401k match Hard to find enough to fill 20 words worth if space to be completely honest. The industries/customers they serve are exciting and fun

Cons

Lack of leadership. The upper management is generally unqualified and poorly suited for the industries they serve. General lack of knowledge of the customer and the products. Constant turmoil and "restructuring" leaves no sense of job security.

Pros

Great experience to build your resume, mostly due to a lack of clear role definitions and being asked to do tasks outside of your scope of work. The engineering department is full of dedicated workers just trying to survive the whims of the Ariens children.

Cons

"Be Honest" - Upper management lies and intentionally misleads employees "Be Fair" - There are huge discrepancies in pay and responsibilities for the same job titles "Respect the individual" - Long hours and "unspoken expectations" make you feel like a number that's only as good as the amount of slop you can deliver "Encourage intellectual curiosity" - There was never anytime to try anything new or come up with multiple solutions let alone do anything innovative.
