Pros

THE EMPLOYEES are great people, 401K and Pension, work/life balance, 9/80 work weeks, growing company, products, access to training

Cons

Bad Management: Good old boys club! All ex-military and very demanding and controlling. Doesn't value you and the work you do; no respect; no process improvements; sexism, sexual harassment; work overload/burnout; favoritism; no advancement/passing qualified candidates up; notorious bad reviews, with no warning, several codes of conduct broken, etc. Bad HR: Doesn't back the employees expressing major concerns; allows for bad management to belittle women in the workplace; transfers managers with major red flags (i.e sexual harassment investigations, time card changes, ) and doesn't fire them; won't file complaints, allows for hostile work environments

Pros

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

Cons

Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
