High stress and low pay - Mechanical Engineer Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Employee Review

Great company, culture, and people

Just an intern for one summer

Very friendly people. Good family values. Christian but not pushy. Activities and events to be kind. Hard working, but not overly strict. Tuition reimbursement (usable but not great).

Low pay for high cost of living area. This area merits higher pay. Very few engineering firms pay decently in this area so it’s not just Preferred. Unless you have a strong reason to live here, I would avoid taking a job at this company or area in general. If you plan on staying less than 5 years, don’t apply. Most benefits take multiple years to kick in (6 year 401k vesting etc). You also get very few days off a year unless you have many years experience.
