      Pros

      Research and development, the benefits, and work schedule

      Cons

      Upper management makes poor decisions regarding staffing shortages. New leadership cares only about their image and not the employee’s needs, telling employees with genuine concerns to, “find another job” (looking at you Mitch). Constantly changing the rules regarding PTO and sick time.

      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.
