Pros

Good CNC experience if you know that is what "turning" is there, which they don't tell you.

Cons

Ultra-politically correct environment. Some minorities definitely capitalize on this and leverage it for all that its worth. Employee turn-over rate is astronomical. Passionate preaching on safety, however it is actually a VERY dangerous position, since a wheel could fly out of the machine at any time and take someone's head off and they DO fly out. Front office management is scandalous and the HR team is actually antipersonnel and very bigoted against people who have integrity and work ethic. HR defends individuals who threaten other employees. Supervisors are not very bright, but basically good people.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
