Pros

Great retirement program Frequent opportunity for overtime

Cons

Unless your last name is Burns, don’t plan on going anywhere with this family owned and run company, they put up a great facade to make it seem like they really want you around and encourage you to work 60+ hours per week to meet their deadlines but give little to no recognition when it comes time for giving out raises once per year. I worked 10 hour days 5 days per week and attended night school under their request to move up the ladder only to get slapped in the face with no raise once the new fiscal year came around. This place is a joke, the owner is a sociopath that will show up at 2am and leave all of the lights off in the upstairs office just so he can sneak around and check on what everyone is doing out in the shop instead of trusting his managers to do THEIR job. Stay away from this place if you have any intention of advancing upwards in your career ladder.

Pros

Wonderful place to work. Large enough to have good company benefits yet small enough to have a friendly comfortable work setting and feel apart of a team. Nonetheless apart of a family owned company. The company has continued to grow and expand and has plenty of room to do so. This provides opportunities to move up the ranks and allows the ambitious to carve out their own roles in a growing company. The founders Bob and Judy are still regularly on site and have active rolls in the company giving the company a united front from management to each individuals role.

Cons

I think all the negatives I have read on Glassdoor have been resolved. Not to sound like I’m kissing anyone’s butt I’ll explain. I believe all great and even good companies have to start out with a very driven very ambitious core. As everything we do as humans the beginning usually starts with a lot of failures and new companies can’t afford this. Patriot has made it through many trials and tribulations(as is my assumption from reading other Glassdoor reviews) however the company is in a very stable position now. I really have no complaints. My days at Patriot are usually very good. Enough routine that I feel comfortable but also a good bit of unique work that I feel challenged and learn and enjoy the days.
