Pros

This is a good entry level job for someone who has just graduated from college and has no work experience.

Cons

There are no checks and balances between upper and lower level managment Promotions are based on who were friends of the district manager The hours are long and unaccomodating for someone with a family The pay is terrible Management is unprofessional Management is allowed to discriminate without repurcussions The only way to make money is through sales and the bonus structure is often changed to prevent employess from making bonus The opportunities for advancement that are promised initially are lies There are no incentives to be promoted past the Assistant Management position Overall, this is a terrible place to work!

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
