Pros

Get to work with some great technology. The people in the production a very humble. The supervisors understand how long it takes to finish a project.

Cons

It's a very disorganized company from top to bottom. They help the sales team more than any other department. As a design engineer, you are a project manager, manufacturing engineer, and planner. You are responsible for the cost product and the logistics for the projects. Training is none existence. The company does dump all the problems towards the engineers. Management does not listen to employees' concerns and disregards any criticism.

Pros

Just a little over 100 employees, so scheduling is high flexible including PTO (depending on your manager). No micromanagement, so you get to work freely and at your own pace.

Cons

Lack of accountability. If you find something wrong/broken you'll be expected to fix it because no one else will. Hard workers are rewarded with additional work- and there is always plenty of that because there are no consequences to those that don't work or do the right thing. Management is totally out of touch with floor employees, nor care about what's going on until its the end of the month and THEIR bonuses are on the line. No advancement unless someone in a higher position quits or gets fired. Problematic employees are not corrected. Management lets issues continue until someone leaves on their own will. NO real incentive to work here. It's a dead end job, but good for those new to the workforce and those returning after a long break. Acrrue only 10 hours of PTO per month.
