Pros

Great people. I really enjoy the people. Many have become great friends or even like family. Benefits are great, for the most part.

Cons

Cons depend on what department or division you work in. Pay raises don't trickle down to low level employees. Upward mobility can be hard if you aren't in the good ole boys club.

Pros

I have had a great time with this company. A very solid company to work for. There is a good atmosphere, benefits, and stability.

Cons

There pay is low for the type of work i do. They try to generalize job codes and positions and that's just not the way it works. All engineering disciplines are not equal. To keep bringing in their record breaking revenue, they have decided to freeze all bonuses and promotions in addition to taking away a few paid holidays. Depending on the group you are in there are managers play favorites and it is hard to find promotions.

Pros

You get really great pay and benefits for good challenging work. It's not as intimidating as some people think. Your trained on literally everything you do before you touch it.

Cons

Upper management is not very transparent they rather play politics and lie. Personal time could be accumulated better. 8-10 hours every 3 months as long as you miss less than 5 hours Is lame
