Pros

Equipment was easy to work on. Co-workers were nice.

Cons

Very low pay for the amount they wanted you to know. Every aspect of management were condescending to their employees, and treated them like lower class citizens. Extremely low pay for non-skilled trades employees, and witnessed them be treated like children. Very demoralizing to watch.

Pros

Certainly a lot of good hard working people. Most are friendly and willing to help out to train and assist even outside their functional area. If you want to work long hours each week they will promote you though know with each promotion the responsibility and commitment get worse.

Cons

Work life balance, salaries are lower than market, not clear goals - they pay lip service to goals though it is all about the short term numbers and bottom line at the expense of long term goals that can improve the business in the long run. Prime example is how they handled the implementation of their new computer system.

Pros

Advancement opportunity OK if willing to work lots of hours and management likes you Lots of good people at middle to lower levels

Cons

Too much office politics at senior management level Very little recognition by senior management Inconsistent with treatment of departments and employees Compensation package below average. Promote the bonus which in not consistent and capped Talk about team effort but evaluation is all about individual and department accomplishments. No reward for helping other employees or departments - actually works to disadvantage because it takes time away what you could accomplish for yourself, which is all that is rewarded Imbalance in work/life ratio Too heavy VP to employee ratio Use employees to take everything out of them, and then will figure out a way to let them go when done with them Cannot trust senior management
