Pros

Good team of younger engineers.

Cons

Older guys in management are dinosaurs of industry and stuck in their ways. The most dangerous words 'its always been done this way' is rampant. All facilities are far below average, worn, and dirty. The company does not even use Outlook but rather Lotus Notes from the '80s. Need to use adobe to edit a PDF? Good luck as its the free version. Excel and word? Versions from over 10 years ago. Keep up with the times or get left behind. For being a proudly-female owned company, Andrea is clearly not in touch with what occurs in the plant. The turnover is atrocious for the office staff (managers and engineers alike) - No mentors, no leadership, no training, incredibly toxic environment.

Pros

If you are of the male gender, your opportunities for job advancement and compensation are actually quite good and you can expect much in the way of training.

Cons

Harassment and far lower wages for women in this workplace are not uncommon. If you place a complaint then expect retaliation from those higher up. They also expect you to do your own reviews of your job performance with instructions that you should not rate yourself highly as it will show no room for improvement and will reflect on you poorly. They will then take those ratings later on to use against you stating that you agreed that you were a poor employee. My time at Summit was the lowest depths of hell. By going through the channels of complaint directed by the company it put me in a position where the people involved in the issue were informed and were able to not only retaliate but were open to building a case against me that improperly showed me as being a poor employee.
