Pros
The benefits were good and the pay is competitive. Rain Bird has high standards and you either sink or swim there. If you stay afloat, you will learn a lot. I learned a lot working with the company, the experience gained there will help in other opportunities that I pursue.
Cons
Upper management, for the most part, is incompetent. Decisions are made based on what is needed to put out the fires with no plan for long-term solutions. Lack of communication and decisions made by management will be the downfall of the company. There is no sense of security, if you are hired on by this company, your job will most definitely be moved down to Mexico within two years as soon as you have perfected a system that you can easily train someone else on. Years of service, contributions, and dedication to the company have no bearing on your ultimate fate, they will toss you out without so much as a "thanks for all your effort, but it's just not good enough." In the few years that I worked there, I watched every person that I worked with, including some with more than 30 years with the company, lose their jobs due to "relocation".
