Pros

Starting PTO. Honestly, you can learn a ton here as a new grad just not on company time. Training - the hands off power point slide approach is phenomenal! You get to meet a ton of new teammates! You get to work hard month in and month out to secure incentives not meant for you. No shortage of motivation.

Cons

Apply location filter -Arlington Heights- in search bar, check actual employee rating and read their cons. You’re welcome! End of month deadlines, think 12 times a year. No file sharing in place amongst team members. If they say they don’t have the template, don’t you believe it! Read the other employee cons, they’re pretty FUNNY! No programs in place to document and correct past historical mistakes so it’s the same mistakes month in and month out.

Pros

The Engineers and Lab employees were great for the most part, as well as the extended office staff. The hours were good, 7:30-4.

Cons

The company is an ok company, but the front office OM and Office Admin lead a toxic work environment that no one has a chance at fitting into. The OM walks around as if they own the place, and the employees must bow down to them. The Office Administrator is so far up the OM's butt, and the need for power bleeds over onto the OA. Many of the other employees are miserable working with them. The position of Project Coordinator in the front office is really nothing more than a glorified "receptionist". Do not let them tell you otherwise. The OA is passive aggressive and has a foul attitude. The training, which is done by the OA, is minimal and barely worth speaking of. They do not know the job themself, because the person that left that did the job left because of them. There is no flexibility on lunch times, even if you need to go to an appointment. The work culture is one of "money is all that matters", regardless of how miserable the staff is. No one even has interest in being with them at the company wide events they try and plan. All the while, it does not matter how little competent training there is, if you make a mistake, the OA is going to treat you like an incompetent child, instead of working with you. Advice, stay away from Project Coordinator position, you will not get any help, and yet be thrown under the bus for not doing the job. A person in this position cannot do the work effectively either because of the loud and ongoing conversations between the OM and the OA. Or they just stand around with others at the reception desk talking with no regard that you are trying concentrate on doing the work. The toxic culture makes a person unable to do their job. All that matters is the money. Bottom line, regardless of the mental state of anyone in the company.

Pros

I quit and found a good job that values their employees and has good pay.

Cons

There are so many. High turnover rate. Unsafe work environment. Profit over employees health and safety. Work you like a dog for low wage, if your an engineer and not dumb you'll have long nights and weekends. Employees are expendable. Sales team is terrible and will screw you over with bad testing quotes. Cut corners everywhere. Hard workers are not valued. Higher ups will talk about you behind your back after you leave.
