Pros
The employees are very nice and hard working.
Cons
Benefits are mediocre. CEO is one of the worst in my experience. Employees work hard, the company tells you they had a banner year and pays the same or less bonus as the prior year. This may be one of those companies where the CEO takes all of the money and does not reward the employees fairly for their concerted efforts to make him wealthy. Raises are hard to come by so whatever you receive when you start is likely what you will have for many years to come. You may receive an annual review with the highest scores but this in no manner reflects what you will receive as a bonus or raise. I have never worked in a Company where the average employee spends most of their day complaining about the company, very poor morale. Management is actually asked to write "good" reviews here on GD to counter the bad almost as if this is expected as part of your job. Also first job where I have seen both men and women physically crying at work due to the mental strain of their employment in the Company. HR reports to the head of legal who is also the owner's wife. They control and monitor everything in the company. Management has ZERO signing authority. By zero I mean none. Everything must be approved by the CEO. Need a new piece of equipment that is critical to doing your job, you wait sometimes for months and never get approved to purchase a replacement for the equipment that is not functioning as expected even if the quality group is telling you to improve your process. This company is unique in that you actually have to beg to get the equipment you need to do your job. The R&D facilities are some of the worst I have ever seen, like a poor high school lab that is 40 years old. Would never recommend this company to anyone.
