Got worse every year, politics take precedence over common sense - Design Engineer Thomas Built Buses Employee Review

Pros

Seeing product being made, people you work with are good people, management excluded.

Cons

Politics at this company rob the potential of what this organization could be. Turn over is rampant. There is no planning or strategy employed. Career development for engineers is non-existent, unless you are friends with someone already in management. I can't count how many good engineers I've worked with that eventually had had enough and quit, to go somewhere else and thrive. Engineering at this company is not a good place to be.

Pros

Great pay, which scales very well over a 4 year period. Health Benefits (not the best but they exist) $100 towards safety shoes every year Vision and hearing coverage Dental coverage Unionized workplace

Cons

Higher management only understands quotas 3rd shift backdoor floor supervisor interactions are generally negative to the extreme Retaliatory write-ups Only 16hrs of PTO a year, and only 3.3 hours of sick time accrued a month They will punish you for being efficient by finding you extra work to do, while rewarding mediocrity with less scrutiny. Aka looking busy is better than being good at your job.
