Pros

Pay somewhat decent. Mediocre benefits. Only good things bout company. Rest of its no good. Lot of activity that could get company shut down and everyone out on the streets.

Cons

Management treats workforce like crap. Endless hours. No personal life. Job security is constantly held over your head. Lot of young supervisors who think they know everything about stuff they haven't been trained on. Constantly going back on promises to employees. And everyone is expendable. If you don't fall into line and let them walk all over you you won't last. Expect you to follow safety procedures when convenient but will pressure you if it slows you down. So you have a choice. Wrote up for hindering production or write up for not following safety procedures that hinder production.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
