Pros

In the engineering team is a lot great opportunity to take on projects where you can learn different part of the organization. Most of the time the work is steady pace, however when in project launch phase there could be a high workload, it varies from project to project though. You can spend good quality time during evenings and weekends with family and friends, most year around.

Cons

Some roles in engineering require you to travel and it depends on projects. However, you can work out a plan with your manager to balance out the travel with rest of the team.

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
