Cons
This is not your mother's compressor store. Developing complex, high-pressure systems never built before poses challenges in a fast-paced environment that goes beyond "routine" R&D, redesign, and rework for system optimization, which can sometimes lead to frustration and delays. This can produce reactive rather than proactive management. General health insurance is not the best, the though dental insurance is among the best.
