      Pros

      Good remuneration, great benefits/vacation. The location of HQ can't be beat(Bar Harbor, Maine). There are a lot of long time employees. The vibe is generally: work hard, learn stuff, have fun. Great mission

      Cons

      Growing pains with new leadership

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits are decent

      Cons

      Long commutes with tight time accountability due to newer rules. No more leniency for weather or traffic related tardiness that is common in Maine. Constantly changing rules and expectations are making the job impossible. Failure to meet new expectations lead to no finishes or raises or tuition reimbursement. Forced overtime in Ellsworth location with so.e employees being sent from Bar Harbor to cover. Seems like a sinking ship and I would not recommend anyone I liked for a job here.
