Pros

It's really easy to get into because they are unwilling to ever change their software test. It's been the same for almost 15 years and all the questions and answers are on Glassdoor.

Cons

It's an old man club in management and they heavily underpay their employees and overwork the ones that are hardworking. The promotion system is severely broken. The management sucks and is super unorganized and will never stand up for the people they represent/manage.

Pros

9/80 schedule Okay benefits (could be better) Supporting the military Manufacturing facility is clean Facility and location is nice On-site recreation facility

Cons

Some of the production supervisors are arrogant and are micromanagers. They always ask what you're doing and jump to conclusions without knowing or even asking the facts. The company doesn't provide adequate tools to complete the work,we end up always "borrowing" tools/equipment from another departments. Parts to complete projects are ALWAYS not available and they expect you to meet the deadline with no parts! Lack of communication on what needs to be done, and no coordination with different groups working on the same project. Bonuses are great but seems like everyone gets them regardless if they work hard or not; hence, this can make employees unmotivated to work hard. Some managers are hard to get ahold of and seem to just not care. No consequences for unacceptable behavior from management, and they get away with it. Limited growth opportunities. No training or development plan for supervision.

Pros

Per them.. they have the BEST time off package. How? You walk in the door with zero hours and earn less than .5hrs per paycheck... No worries, during the "pandemic" you could go negative hours! That was a phenomenal bonus. This is a great company if you love being a doormat. Do you have great ideas to make work more efficient? Great. Record yourself stating them and just hit play every time you have the exact same conversation where nothing changes.

Cons

Want to remotely work for the rest of your career? This is not the place for you. Top of the chain says that they cannot trust their employees to work remotely and get work done. Maybe you should hire employees that you trust to be productive where you do not have those "scary concerns". Just a thought.
