A Mixed Bag

Design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- A lot of room for engineers to flex creativity - Challenged to optimize solutions - Relatively easy engineering wise. There's not a ton of hard math or intense computer simulations. Practical skill and design for manufacturability is key. - Some non-engineering tasks are fun - Relatively laid back and mistakes are expected as long as you learn from them. - You will have a lot of freedom to take the reigns on your projects

Cons

- Low pay and undesirable area - BRAIN DRAIN: Institutional knowledge has gone and newcomers will be doomed to make the same mistakes their predecessors did. - Corporate often treats you like second class employees - Senior staff does not appear to have a long term plan for plant improvements.

Worst Job Environment I’ve Ever Had

Warranty & returns administrator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

3 weeks of pto, however I had to use my PTO to work on the side to pay bills due to the low pay rate.

Cons

Micromanagement (notice a theme in their reviews) everytime we had to leave the room for anything we were forced to sign out with our name, where we were going, and the time. We were treated like middle schoolers. Only allowed one 15 min break and a 45 min lunch. You will work 4 hours plus with no break.
