Pros

This space requires a minimum of 20 words. I can state with great certainty that there are none.

Cons

Micromanaging by inexperienced managers. Many would not be at junior level in other companies. Unwillingness to invest in current engineering tools that could significantly increase their competitiveness. Pay is at least 15 to 20 percent below market. Paternalistic attitude by management. Building is locked on Sundays ( my only explanation is that the owner wants employees home on Sundays) yet there is little to no opportunity for remote work.

Thank you for your comments. It is true that Banner Engineering is closed on Sundays (and closes at 7:00pm on weeknights and 1:00pm on Saturdays). The reason for this that Banner Engineering strives to maintain a good work-life balance. Part of demonstrating this is making sure that time away from work is encouraged! We believe our normal hours of operation during the work week and Saturday allow ample time for project work to move forward. Because of our strong growth, we continue to significantly invest in R&D, including doubling the size of our R&D facilities, hiring technical staff, and investing in new R&D systems that impact all engineering disciplines.

Pros

-Air conditioned building. -Computer chairs to sit in during work.

Cons

-Upper management and above is abysmal. I had 6 managers over the course of 3 years of working there. "Organizational change ups", firings and just walking out, seem to happen routinely due to the rot at the top. -Management outright lied about co-workers and my performance in our yearly reviews as an excuse to deem our positions as obsolete and then the company laid us off. -Lots of detrimental policies for lower level employees including the "pay differentials" and will gladly underpay mid level employees while consistently stacking more responsibilities on you. -Non-first shift employees are consistently ignored and disregarded despite most of them having longer tenure then the revolving door of employees on 1st shift. -Company leadership likes to demand mandatory overtime for Electronic Assemblers way too often resulting in slumps of work where they'll "offer" unpaid time off. -Company is also hyper reactive and volatile when trying to meet demand. Including laying off the majority of a third shift when work got slow, to then mass hiring for all shifts nearly doubling low level employees including a weekend shift about a year after cutting the 3rd shift, that has now been dwindled back down to similar employment levels only 8 months later.
