Pros

Pay is fine. Coworker is good.

Management is terrible. They consistently disregard all positive suggestions from first-line employees. However, they terminate employees for the problem when we already recommend changes to the problem.

Respond to customers and sales team and set your schedule. Instruments are high tech and applications provide a challenge. Wide range of markets and material types to with.

Cons

Building identity in a competitive market place of instrument sales. Limited resources as people retire and leave for new opportunties. Owners are tweaking business and expecting results too fast.
