Pros

Some of the nicest, most sincere people are the hardworking people on the shop floor. The end-product is surprisingly well-crafted, considering how many corners are cut in the process. A testimony to the work ethic there.

Cons

Upper management preaches the "Core Values" of Respect, Honesty, etc., but nothing could be further from the truth. Very cliquish, if you're not drinking the Kool-Ade, you won't be around long. The company claims that a goal is to become a "Great Place To Work," but the actual survey numbers are very, very low. The answer? All talk, no action. Their business model is unsustainable, and they know it. Expect big changes - not for the better.

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.
