Pros

Weekly paid for hourly associates. Uniforms, rental discounts, PTO,

Cons

Understaffed. Too many clicks, that created issues between associates. Reminds me of high school. Employees expected to do managerial duties without the title or the extra pay. Lack of real safety measures, only the paperwork to try and cover their butts. No room for advancement unless you want to be an underpaid, overworked manager. Do your homework before accepting any management position! And please note that if you are a threat to any associate who is happy just getting by or milking the company for all it is worth, they will put a target on your back and send you on your way before your probation ends!

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
