Pros

Job security, free EV charging

Cons

Afraid to take risks and reluctant to pursue new processes/technology without precedent. Old school management unwilling to adapt or listen to employees. Annual performance goals set by management with complete disregard for employee input. Inflexible work schedule, non-competitive pay. Toxic environment. Mandatory study “philosophy” book written by company founder. All the above results in high turnover for skilled engineers.

Pros

Paychecks come on time, they have a decent rep in the ceramic packaging world. I worked with some wonderful people.

Cons

This is not a sales job, your are managing accounts with no incentive. QA issues non stop, legal issues, payment, anything and everything comes back on "sales". Every day was a new fire that always felt like preparing for a deposition where each employee starts pointing fingers at one another. Horrible moral. Depends heavily on your direct management. I'll just say that I had emailed some of the issues i was having to my manager (something I've never had to do my entire career) and nothing changed, except that they had logged into my email and deleted it so there was no record. It was not a good situation.
