Pros

Manufacturing Employees are hard working and knowledgeable Good technology hands-on experience

Cons

Management has no idea how to treat its employees leading to a very poor work environment and sense of moral. Engineers are seen as disposable leading to no retained knowledge by the staff except for top 3-4 people in the company. In my time there the turnover rate was astronomically high. Manufacturing employees have excellent knowledge but don't pass it on to engineering because they expect to get a new engineer in a few months so nothing they say will matter. Your expected to live and die General Plasma. You work 6-7 days a week 12-15 hours a day so if you want to have a life outside of work I strongly recommend you seek out other opportunities. Management takes advantage of the company and gives nothing to its extremely hard working employees. Most decisions are made on a personal basis and have nothing to do with the business. If you have any original thoughts you are already on the fast track to being fired, yes men only apply at this company. Do not believe the promises told to you during the interview. Opportunity sounded great but they were all lies!

Pros

Any engineer that survives longer than a few weeks can be sure that they are an above average engineer. If you last longer than one year you have to be a very talanted engineer and be able to deal with a harsh work enviroment. If you can make it at GPi you can make it anywhere. - Interesting Technology - hands-on experience - Technicians and Machinists are good poeple to work with, - ability to learn an immense amount of information very quickly

Cons

Management views engineers as disposable and they are worked until they burn out and quit, or are fired for a frivolous reason. Independent of your work quality, if the boss doesn't like you you will be fired. Do not relocate to take a job at General Plasma. Several employees moved across country only to be fired after a few weeks/months. To succeed at General Plasma you must live and breeth General Plasma. If you like seeing your family at all do not take a job here.
