Don't bother.

Pros

The odds of you getting fired is almost zero. The company tries to celebrate success. The core values of the company are good when they are followed. Most of the company is more focused on the employees and the customers rather than making money for the sake of making money.

Cons

Sales staff is arrogantly ignorant. They know best, even when they know nothing at all. If you are looking to move up, plan on moving on. Your only other hope is that your supervisor leaves. They are actively trying to only pay median wages. If you are an A employee, expect C pay. The heath insurance is terrible. Groups implement (or don't implement) policy differently. If the group doesn't like something, they may simply ignore it. The group level managers' decisions are often overruled by the sales managers. The sales managers will also make decisions for things that affect the groups, but not even tell the group leaders. The groups then have to deal with the consequences of decisions that they had nothing to do with. The company values are ignored by many, including some in management.

Pros

Great growth potential! Good, stable company with a rich history. Mostly good attitudes and happy employees. Intent and mission of Company is noble but probably not held by most employees.

Cons

Its difficult to move forward when you are walking backwards. WesTech spends so much time looking and doing what they have always done that they are constantly tripping over the road ahead. There is Vision forward but not to a destination. There is an interesting culture that certified engineers are somehow more valuable than the rest, I think that mindset is fading but still strong. Expect 20% less pay if you do not have a P.E. .... for now. Engineers do not make good people managers.

Cons

Trust issues between production and support groups, Imbalanced Focus on cutting costs (instead of adding value), Training is lacking, expectations and accountability should be higher, Bonuses are companywide (rarely individual). Not very innovative (but trying).
