      Pros

      If you don’t know a lot or are just out of welding school this place will work with you and help you learn. Very comfortable work environment where you are not rushed.

      Cons

      The pay is low, benefits are not as good as everyone says. Opportunity for advancement is nonexistent. To management you are just a cog in a machine. OT is not always available

      Pros

      Great Benefits. Relaxing work environment. Great leadership. Very open, financially, with employees.

      Cons

      Subjective - Location. If you like Crystal Lake or the surrounding area you will really enjoy working for this company. If you don't want to live anywhere near there it may become a hassle for you.

      Pros

      My direct manager was a great mentor. Full autonomy. The companies disorientation pushes you to wear multiple hats and thus drives personal growth(not trying to sound like a backhanded “pro”).

      Cons

      Reactive, not proactive. Seem to be focused on company growth and not maintaining their “foundation”. Company culture is slipping. There are a lot of disagreements between departments.
