Pros

Friendly Environment, nice people, hired as co-op after freshman year, pay was $14/hour

Cons

Engineering Tech is only desired by them for the purpose to fill "associate engineer" and Maintenance positions according to them, but I didn't know anyone in 2 summers that was Tech and was anywhere near engineers. They did not have enough work for me even when I started it seemed like the managers were not expecting me and didn't know what to do. What I gathered from listening is that advancement is very political and though most people are friendly upfront, some are out to take others positions.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, lots of holidays off, year end shutdown.

Cons

Low pay. Lots of office politics. Your merit increase is based on how well you are liked - not how well you perform. If you don’t fit the Swagelok mold you will have a hard time advancing. It’s almost looked down upon to be an external hire.
