      Pros

      Pay is equal to or slightly better than others in terms of engineering jobs. Flex time for coming in (for office employees only). Manufacturing pay for new employees is bad enough they can't keep anyone new anymore. Generous vacation (maybe this is just me).

      Cons

      I've been here over 10 years ...but only because monetarily I'm "stuck" here. As for advancement, the company in the last decade cares more about "credentials" ie a degree rather than capabilities and experience. Hence, that's why a lot of these 4 year degree people who never picked up a wrench or held a real job get brought in to "improve" our processes. As a result, the only wrench they handle for the first time is the one they throw into the gears of the processes they touch. The amount of employee turn over here in engineering and manufacturing is flat out depressing. The rotating cast of mid managers are a bunch of useless clowns completely disconnected from the realities of the internal and external customer needs. The internal morale is bad across the board, as I speak to office and manufacturing frequently, new and old employees.

      Pros

      If you have the ability to troubleshoot machinery and like it, then you will do well.

      Cons

      If you are not a driven person to repair machinery on your own and want to learn more, then don't apply here. You will struggle!

      Pros

      Product, Customers, and it is never dull. I enjoy my work and the opportunity to build a broad technical understanding in a variety of areas. If you like old school professional relationships with sales people and customers, this is a great fit. Many people build lasting and strong relationships across out dealerships and customer base.

      Cons

      We are growing our manufacturing capabilities quickly, a lot of change is happening and that can be stressful. Leadership often sets goals that seem unachievable, which creates an environment of frustration in those periods. There has been a lot of movement in leadership, both from turnover, and from natural succession. This is adding to the pressure already existing from the growing throughput expectations and other big changes.
