Pros

The new director is awesome and the new supervisors are great. GA does alot for employees like pension and bonuses once a year

Cons

Your not treated with respect at all no one cares about you only what you can do for them. NO advancement at all unless your their best friend! Once you start don't plan on going anywhere but where you are. They make you wonder why you choose to do this because if the way your treated here. Very depressing place to work. HR is not good at all here! You makes this place millions and to be treated like crap. You may think your doing good but after a few years you'll see you never are allowed to grow in the company your held back from advancing just do their friends get in you'll always be to the bottom. They say one thing to you and always do different. A company you'll never go any where with. They'll always start new people out making more than you'll ever make. Just a place that makes you feel like a nobody even tho you have35 years experience.

Pros

Nice company, good people and great facility. Lots of work and steady employment.

Cons

Functions make Program Managers do their work. Processes but not integrated. Leadership wont change the culture they expect the lower levels to make it happen . Overwork and not enough help. You ask for help so they add another management layer.

You are correct. Two things: 1) Being privately held has allowed us to operate in a very entrepreneurial, sometimes surprising ways, but it’s delivered amazingly successful technologies. 2) We hear you. And we are aggressively upgrading and standardizing procedures that our growth now requires. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
