      Tough place to be

      Product engineer specialist
      Current employee
      Saint Paul, MN
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Decent salary, decent benefits and flexibility on Work Your Way

      Cons

      No stability, waiting for the next round of layoffs when we haven't recovered from the last round. So many job eliminations and the directive to work more quickly without having the people to do the work. It's frustrating.
