Pros

The paycheck is consistent every 2 weeks.

Cons

This place thrives on deception and lies. If you tell the truth, you are a troublemaker. WEC has downsized so many times, that only the "yes" men/women are kept. They have tried to infuse new blood but retention is near impossible. They pay well to get you in the door but then shaft employees on raises. They now use the GE mentality of eliminating the lower performing employees (there is no "they all are great;" WEC insists a gradient; thus, someone must suffer). Management cannot be challenged on a poor review (like asking someone else to look at the review). They nickel and dime departments right down to tightening the purse strings on stationary supplies. Meanwhile, Toshiba siphons off WEC's profits to buy up Toshiba's losses. The new builds are bound to fail as they are mismanaged and run by incompetent management staff. They will look the other way when they are told that a design will not work and would rather deal with design issues or schedule later rather than get in front of the problem before it becomes overwhelming. I'm not sure whether the China plants will ever get online.
