Pros

Pay is decent for the amount of waiting you typically do throughout the week. That's the only pro.

Cons

Horrible culture, assault and harassment throughout the shop floor, HR is of course rude and dismissive depending on who you are, they would rather you commit suicide on the job, or just quit and never come back rather than to come up with a solution to an issue. Females get preferential treatment especially those in management over those in lower level positions, regardless of their gender. They preach and purport that they have good culture and care about your well-being, but they enable and encourage a toxic and harassing work environment, while making excuses and rationalizations for people who underperform or just don't give a damn on the job, or people who cause problems not only in production but in encounters with other employees.. They just in stated a point system that counts against you retroactively for any time that you have missed within the entire last year, before they enstated it or warned anyone about it. Massive amount of turnover, too many problems within this company itself to list here..

Pros

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Cons

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
