Pros

Great people and excellent learning opportunities. I gained valuable experience working with customers, internal teams, and management across various functions. The role helped me build a broad and versatile skill set that's highly attractive to other companies and has set me up for long-term success.

Cons

There appears to be a disconnect between upper management and the current workforce. Some individuals in higher-level managing and scheduling positions seem to have advanced due to internal relationships rather than merit, which can undermine team morale and effectiveness. Direct management often reflects an "old guard" mentality, appearing out of touch with modern workplace expectations, particularly regarding work-life balance. While work-life balance is often emphasized in messaging, decisions such as the removal of 9/80 schedules—which were widely appreciated—suggest otherwise. These changes negatively impact employee satisfaction and well-being. Furthermore, dismissive responses to valid employee concerns—such as remarks implying that employees are replaceable ("others are waiting for your job")—are deeply unhelpful. They do not address the root causes of discontent and instead contribute to a culture of dissatisfaction and disengagement.

Pros

Janicki is a large company and expanding quickly, but still has the feel of a family owned company. There is a great work to life balance and they focus a lot of the core values. Although its a 24-7 operation, communication from the floor to uppers is always open. Everyone is genuinely willing to help and are happy to train. I have worked here over a year and don't regret the move. Its a fantastic company to work for.

Cons

Its a faced paced environment that requires you to think on your feet at all times. Its not a plug and play world. So if you can't function in that type of work environment, you won't succeed.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Company is growing like crazy. If you are able to stay away from the corporate politics and gossip, you will thrive. Management honestly wants employees to have a good work/life balance.

Cons

Company is growing like crazy and there are changes coming to the org chart. Lots of different tech solutions being used and support for all of them can be a challenge. No pay boost for obtaining government clearance unless job is 'engineer'.
