Pros
I enjoyed working here, you were given time to work on what you were doing, and made sure you did it right. I was able to spend many hours researching and studying my field to better round myself for the job i was doing. My direct co-worker was invaluable to my success. Helpful, knowledgable and willing to help me every time i had a question. I couldn't have asked for a better co-worker
Cons
Management didn't treat me with dignity. I had a Director stop by my desk a couple of weeks ago to tell me i was doing a good job, and that he "wanted more skilled people like myself." Fast forward a couple of weeks, I was offered a job that required a clearance, but I declined the original job title they offered. ( I did not apply for this job while working at Extron). I told my boss about it, how I had no desire to change fields which they were offering, but I was advised by my Investigator to go through the process and finish out the Clearance since it was being sponsored. My boss told me he would give me the time off to go check it out, I requested the time off and after my 3 days off the day I returned, I told my boss it went well and that I declined their offer of wanting me to come back for more assessments in 2 weeks. Couple hours later my boss randomly asked me to follow him to a room where HR was sitting there. I assumed this was my performance review, since I was on month 5 or 6 of my probationary period! awesome! My boss told me in a shaky voice "your skills aren't good enough, we need to let you go." ....i was on month 5 and i've never once been told, sat down, counseled or talked to saying my abilities were a problem for this entry level position. A Director told me weeks ago he wanted more skilled people like myself in my department. I wasn't give 2 weeks, asked to work on certain areas they claim i lacked in, nothing. If it were because of my abilities it would have been a problem on week 2 or 3, not something on month 5.
