Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories reviews

Small town, not much of a variety except for outdoor type activities (fishing, hunting, etc..).

-Salary: Sub-standard pay rates when compared to other companies. At the annual performance review, if you meet expectations you get a 1% pay hike! If you exceed expectations you get a 2% increase! This does not even cover the year over year inflation rate. I have seen so many of my co-workers leave to other companies because of this reason. -Employee Development: There is a lack of employee development in the company. Primarily because the company is located close to two colleges, there are plenty of new grads who can be hired for dirt cheap and every two years there is a turnover. -HR: Does a brilliant job of brainwashing people into the "company culture". They do a good job of maintaining the company's image in the employee's mind and thereby in the community. -Travel: Only power systems engineers or managers get to travel outside the company to meet customers or attend conferences. -Small town: Small college town living. Suitable for families but there is not much to do if you are single.
