Pros

I do not think there is any "Pros" other than 4 weeks of PTO a year

Cons

Cons: 1. Career growth is limited. It’s hard to move into other engineering roles. 2. The work is not typical engineering. It’s mostly compliance -focused. You get some product exposure, but learning opportunities are limited. 3. Poor Management and training, The three month training period lacks proper mentorship. You may be given critical tasks early and expected to handle high-pressure situations on your own. 4.Many people leave the company after about three years. It can be hard to transition to other careers. 5. The management only cares about money and salary increases are rare. Raises do not happen often.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
