Pros

The team I worked with was phenomenal. They really embraced the company's core values. Smart and driven to get the job done.

Cons

The executive team doesn't seem to know how to plan. At all. Changes occur daily as if they threw spaghetti at the wall to see what would stick but wouldn't apply the changes long enough to know if they even made a difference. Every area in the company was short staffed and way over-worked. They preached about respecting the individual, but I didn't witness that. They are crushing really great, hardworking people. I feel sorry for the people left there after 2 years of huge staffing cuts. They certainly haven't cut the work, if anything it has quadrupled and become more chaotic.

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.
