Pros

There were great people to work with in certain departments. The company was flexible with time off when I need it.

Cons

The different groups in the office did not work well together and always wanted to blame each other. Some shortsightedness.

Pros

1. Great diversity of tasks such as soldering, wiring, programming, assembling equipment, repairing equipment, and providing technical support. 2. Opportunities to work outdoors and travel to beautiful and interesting places. 3. Excellent benefits and an ample amount of paid time off.

Cons

1. Any suggestions employees have to offer are usually met with hostility, criticism, belittling comments, and threats of termination. 2. If you take pride in your work and want to do the job right the first time, you will soon be made a pariah. The number one focus is on stuffing customers' equipment in a box and shoving it out the door by the due date. Quality of work takes a back seat to the due date, despite customers paying many thousands of dollars for their equipment. 3. Customers pay Ferrari prices but get Yugo quality. 4. Common sense is not common at this company. 5. Putting in hard work and long hours is not rewarded.
