Great to Terrible

Pros

Not many but this section requires 20 words minimum so paycheck, health insurance, co-workers in my group, somewhat flexible work schedule, paid over time (most of the time).

Cons

I've been here for 7 years and watched Enercon go from great to terrible. It seems that almost every year they reorganize the company and they can just never get it right. The last reorganization was the worst. They added a lot of highly paid managers who are still here even after several blindsided rounds of layoffs. Some of the hardest workers Enercon had were let go instead. Layoffs were done by managers with no HR in site (I believe they should have been at each office when this occurred!). They underbid all projects and then we are stuck working on nonchargeable projects to get the work done. They waste time with ridiculous online training that 99% of the time has absolutely nothing to you with your job. They hold the whole "you are an employee owner" over your head when management wants something but leave you in the dark about office relocations, company resizing, and any other important issues that should concern the employees. Yearly raises are decided by upper management who have no clue who you are or how hard you work. They also seem to be very spiteful, you can do everything right all year but make one mistake and that is all they will remember you for when it comes time for reviews. I am not a disgruntled former employee, or an employee who was laid off, I am a currently employee who is just speaking the truth and has watched what once was a great company crash hard.

Pros

Most benefits are on par with comparable employers. Office is clean, comfortable, and located in a nice area. Office supplies freely provided. IT support very nice and helpful.

Cons

The company has allowed deplorable behavior by some manager(s) to go on essentially unchecked, and even continues to promote at least one terrible manager as a superstar. Abusive behavior such as manipulation, lying, and blame shifting has been all too common and contributed to a large number of employees in one division leaving. Many employees who remain would leave if given the opportunity because it seems as if no meaningful action will be taken despite reports from numerous employees and company-wide survey results that clearly point to the manager as a problem. It is unbelievable that such a terrible manager is protected while employees have endured mistreatment for so long.

Pros

The only thing that was positive was the salary. I worked with some good people but they usually quit within the year after they saw what they actually gotten themselves into.

Cons

This is company that does not have any engineering standards. It has procedures and policies but not any engineering standards or means for educate or guide its junior or senior engineers. It is a company with no engineering integrity. They openly "steal" the software of their competitors. They have and are using Bechtel's ME101 pipe stress software for years which is in violation of various copy right laws, business laws, and ethics. Its a company that does not promote the importance of Professional Licenses and the principles behind them. Too many of the junior and mid level engineers have quit over the years in order to get the proper experience needed to obtain their PEs. They work their engineers beyond normal fitness for duty hours in order to make customers happy, unfortunately this leads to very bad quality and performance. They will push to achieve a schedule and submit poor quality documents which usually makes the customers even more unhappy because they didn't take the time to do it correctly. They like to offer their customers discounts on everything to get work. This means the employees will work numerous free (unpaid overtime) hours; usually late nights and weekends. Supervisors that tried to help their employees were either laid off, demoted, or fired. They love to emphasize to its employees that they are employee owners. Its the biggest silent joke of the company. You'll work the long hours (unpaid), but then the bonus that they advertise will not be there except for those that have been there for 10-15 years. The vast majority of the employees that joined ENERCON have left (fired or quit) within three years. The turnover rate exceeds 40% which is unheard of in most engineering companies. I left this company and feel that leaving was the best thing that every happened to me. They pushed my friends out for questioning their engineering and pushed out our boss when he tried to provide training, engineering standards, and challenged management in working its employees beyond reasonable hours. The offices were a reflection of the worst working culture I have ever witnessed in my career. The engineers that attempted to make improvements were forced out. The big talk of the Kennesaw office (Management) is their Stock Price. They really should focus on the development of their engineers and stop promising to customers what they cannot provide (we;re not stupid and yes I'm know considered one of your potential customers)
