Industrial engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Great place for an engineer to get their career started. 1-3 years. -Hands-on experience. Great lean manufacturing mentors. -Currently a lot of younger people, but there is a lot leaving or getting outsourced right now. Met a lot of my friends here. -Usually out of work on Friday by 2-3 pm

Cons

-If you don't want to become a manager they don't care about you -Some managers will deny grad school with little to no reason -Does not pay you what you are worth. They pay you whatever everyone else is making even if those people are worthless. -Will stop raises/bonuses but increase bonuses for higher-ups whenever they feel like it -Has an "employee-first" motto, but they could care less -HR does not take or implement any feedback
