Pros

Compensation is decent as are benefits (not including vacation time which is not great)

Cons

Management is all over the place where each part of the country is run differently. They pressured workers to go back to work during this Covid period and already scheduled a LIVE meeting for January despite risks of employees. Company switched to FTO from PTO and advertised it as flexible yet when you ask for time off your manager belittles you and as a result forces you to take your own time when you want to. Which leads to last point. Even when you are doing great, they don't let you be your own sales person and structure your days or weeks as you see fit. VERY rigid M - F 8 - 5 better do it, better log in your 7,5 calls, better do your ridiculous multiple reports per week, better not use your car for personal time, better be a robot. RIDICULOUS. And when you leave they do not care AT ALL. If you want to get away from manager GOOD LUCK. Transferring to new position nearly impossible.

Stable company with people that want to make a difference. Great place to learn about manufacturing practices.

No clear job roles and the company tries to squeeze work out of lower level engineers.
