Pros

They only pros that I can think of, it is a great place to get your start. They offer a decent wage and have decent benefits. But, you will never get very far with this company. They claim to promote from within, but seldom do, unless you are a stock holder (which Designers will never be)

Cons

The management structure of Shive-Hattery is horrible. The previous CEO, the Office Managers, and the HR Department, are unethical, pre-historic mindset and policies. Department Management claims to support you, but don't when you need it. Company was ran by "self help" book enthusiast, used those principles (forced people to read certain books) but never ran the company with those ideas. They do NOT care about you, your family, or your personal/work life, your health, or your concerns. They do not use employees as assets, they use them more like mules. Do not take suggestions, won't even listen, to ideas. (although, every year they hold a questionnaire, to get feedback from their employees, but nothing ever changes. After you leave the company, be prepared to be black balled, they will go to extremes to see you no longer work in your location, in your field.

Pros

The company is very flexible with personal time. The company is very open with their financials and performance on projects.

Cons

Salary is average to low, poor mentoring program, very limited upward mobility, small bonuses, no real reward for going the extra mile or outperforming your peers, the company is very flat in the regards.

Pros

This company has great Upper Management. The company is very transparent. They are truly trying to build momentum into a great company.

Cons

The project managers are not very good at working and developing new engineers. From the very get go I was treated as a draftsmen. Very little technical training.
