Pros

Pay and benefits are pretty good for the area. Stable job, decent hours. Tuition assistance program, growth opportunity.

Cons

Lots of gossip, harassment, toxic work environment. They’ll say you can WFH after 90 days but it’s not guaranteed. If you stand out from what some of the senior employees deem okay, expect to get talked about and for management to join in. Have certain diet restrictions? You’ll be made fun of. Wear something different that’s not in violation of dress code? You’ll be made fun of. Co-workers have had yelling matches, elderly co-works are allowed to yell in others’ faces with zero repercussions. When a co-worker made some inappropriate comments management told me the co-worker was just trying to make friends, even after multiple complaints from multiple employees. HR that is available to you is not on site. HR that is on site is only for the factory workers. Inconsistent polices & policy changes with little to sometimes no communication. Lots of conflict between co-workers and between management.

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.
