Pros

None. The place sucked.

Cons

This place was a joke. I worked in their technical area for a week and couldn't stand it. I didn't pay $30K for a degree to rebuild pumps and need to stand 8 hours a day with my hands in hydraulic fluid. The manager for the repair area was an idiot. Truly. The lead people had no real technical skills and were "clicky" with there buddies that they got drunk with on the weekends. Throwing objects at each other and acting like bratty high school children. Dirty, stinky, low morale environment.

Pros

Mission-oriented culture, Excellent leadership in North America and many quality employees that continue to strive for better and better. Modernization efforts are recognized and prioritized with many initiatives underway. If you perform well, recognition and career mobility follows.

Cons

Hard to drive change at times with certain team members. Clean data and systems can be an issue that requires manual efforts, but change is underway. IT processes can be hard to understand and time-consuming.
