Pros

The pay is surprisingly decent for a small company. Okay place for a first job just out of school but plan to move on quick.

Cons

Owner has an anger issue and is a huge control freak micromanaging everything. Small situations can explode into being yelled at. He insists on doing things the way "we've done it for the last 30 years" when the way are out of date and not cost effective, does not want to improve his products or processes to get with the times, literally has engineers just photocopy old designs using hard to find outdated parts that have modern equivalent parts easily available. Does not care about safety both in the shop and in the products he is producing. Follows standards put out in 1970 and refuses to look at modern standards. All around awful employer. Benefits outside of pay pretty much don't exist. You get berated for trying to use vacation time.

Pros

Lots of hands on front line involvement in projects. Learned how projects are managed from order to commissioning. Given as much responsibility as I could handle. Got to work with senior engineers at big name customers at large industrial and utility companies

Cons

The pressure to preform - customers are under deadline and money pressure. Since the product is critical to the process or facility there is little room for "problems". Most of the customers are outside of NJ so commissioning trips involve airline travel.
