Pros
Free healthcare...for now. Opportunity to expand skillsets. Lenient on when you can take lunch
Cons
Oh man, where do I even begin? It was a great company with potential when I first joined the company over 2 years ago, but when the CEO sold the majority of the company to a board of shareholders, it is clearly evident that the company does not care about its employees. Management is clueless about what is even going on the floor most of the time and does not listen to their technicians when they voice concerns. Be careful in getting TOOOO good at a skillset because you will more than likely get pigeon holed into doing JUST that your entire career there. When you ask supervisors if you can learn something else or work in another department for a change of scenery and to increase your knowledge, it falls on deaf ears every single time. "Why does it matter what you do? It all pays the same" is the mentality at this company. So if you are passionate about building satellites and want to actually LEARN more concerning the entire process, steer clear from this company. Favoritism is a real thing, like other reviews mentioned here. They also just recently announced they are getting rid of night shift so a ton of technicians are losing their $2 differential pay and roughly 40 techs are going to be jammed into one day shift.... all so the company big wigs can gain more $$$ in their pockets. If you are on the Tues-Fri shift, you lose half of the paid holidays that the other shift gets all of. When we asked how that was fair, we were just told, "Well you're off that day anyway (Monday), so you shouldn't be complaining." When the obvious point is that the other shift gets like 6 more paid holidays and gets more "4 day weekends". Promotions are a joke too and clearly favorites. I've seen some hard working techs who have been there for 2+ years without any promotion while newbies get promoted within their 1st year. Doesn't make sense to me
