Pros

- you get paid - you have benefits (which the ACA will render null in a few years) - you have a job

Cons

- this company is stuck in the 50s and fights hard to stay that way - no leadership (unless you define leadership as max bonus acquisition while overworking their limited staff) - pay raises are minimal compared to their profit bragging - no free thinkers allowed - good ol boy system - line level management is unsatisfactory and usually promoted through good ol boy system. - senior leadership consistently lies to employees

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
