Business Outlook

Pros

Average pay, average benefit packages. Coworkers are alright once you get to know them. Someone is always willing to help you if you reach out to them.

Cons

Company has been declining for the last few years. Everyone is swamped with work and 4/5 days of the week are incredibly hectic. Process engineers are required to be on-site and may be called in over the weekends. Management does not care about career development or have any sort of path forward for newer engineers. Most often times a higher-up will need to leave the company before you can be promoted. Company also slashed their 401K contributions this year - not exactly a good choice for saving money.
