Pros

The only pro to working here is some of the most awesome people out on the shop floor. Other than that none what so ever.

Cons

Pay sucks. People are being hired at the rate that current employees are making, but current employees don't get a raise to compensate for the new employees. They are not family friendly as they claim to be. I spend more time at work than I do with my family. Had to quit college because of the long hours. Can't make ends meet with what they pay you. Management is horrible, people come and go like crazy. They lie about the bonuses every quarter. Been there over 5 years and haven't seen one in 3 years. God forbid you have health issues, they just laugh in your face and make you work even more or try to get you to quit. HR is useless, always loosing important paperwork and then threaten to fire you if you don't produce it. They expect you to work in really hot weather or when it is so cold your fingers are numb. Employees are actually wearing winter coats, hats and gloves just to stay warm.

Pros

You do not work over 50 hours so you have a healthy work/life balance.

Cons

They dangle the opportunity to bonus over your head, but never give you the ability. Instead they will make you push promos the last two weeks of the quarter so they hit their number but you don't hit yours..and also puts you in bad standing with your customers and for your outlook into the next quarter.

Pros

Decent variety in day to day functions as an Intern. Generally friendly people and a good work environment. Nice new facility in Waukesha.

Cons

There were not many opportunities to expand your technical skills. Many projects were more like work that would have been shopped out to a temp agency.
