      Pros

      Decent pay for the area, diverse coworkers with unique backgrounds and levels of experience to learn from, occasional opportunities to learn new systems.

      Cons

      Job is often not challenging, lack of focus and direction from management, management doesn't consider listening to junior technician's ideas for solutions, engineering feels rushed causing for more difficult operation of equipment and task completion, jobs that require planning often lack proper coordination.

      Incompetence at all levels

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation and opportunity to rise (does not take much to be a Director here)

      Cons

      No senior management vision, and personality. Fiefdoms and turf wars result in replication of work. Huge investment of resources just to please the investors through pretty presentations from McK with flawed strategy. Top heavy management (count number of VPs, Sr. Directors and Directors) - very few ground workers. Worst IT department anyone can imagine. HR couldn't care less. No meritocracy. Investor does not trust senior management and interferes continuously in operations. Dark future unless CEO (Sanjay) can pull a trick.
