Pros

Good pay for starting out. Decent benefits. Office campus is nice. Usually standard 8 hour day (mostly 8:30-5:30).

Cons

The training is not in depth. SOPs are laughable sparse, or so bloated that they are fairly unusable. Lots of mandatory overtime. Hard deadlines that almost impossible to reach consistently. Will put you on a PIP with no real support on how to improve job function. Shifting focus on "everyone on site having knowledge in all departments" instead of consistent thorough training for the department you are in. Ramp up in production can happen suddenly with little notice. Promised work from home availability for weather emergencies, and immediately back tracked. Have to schedule your own trainings, but all trainings are mandatory.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
