Pros

Not a bad work/life balance The best and most talented people I have ever worked with...bar none. Good wages for Tucson.

Cons

-You will not retire from here. Less than 20% of all hires makes it to five years. -You can go from star to goat overnight, through no fault of your own. -Once you are on the target list, there is nothing you can do to fix it. -There is no career development. No one will ever give you accurate information how to succeed. Your manager will not spend any time to help you develop skills needed to become more valuable. -Their stated goal is to have average benefits. They fall somewhat short. -A word about succession planning - All senior staff members (there were 24 in 2012) are required to have one approved backup. Some are required to have two. So, conservatively, they should have about 30 people in their ranks ready to move up. As of Q1 2012, that number was 0 (ZERO). Company-wide!!! What do you think your chances are of moving up?

Pros

Exceptional people for the most part. Leading manufacturer of irrigation equipment so the opportunities to learn are fantastic.

Cons

Work environment is the worst I have ever experienced. The sad part is it does not have to be. Most employees are exceptional in what they do and left alone could be extremely productive. Management sees things differently however and seems to believe they must force productivity through intimidation.
