Pros

The company has several contracts, and a lot of work to be done. But I don't think this will continue due to the lack of quality being produced.

Cons

Poor management... they waste most of the job budget on very high salaried people in meetings where very little if anything is accomplished. Then the rest of the team has to work late and on weekends to throw the drawings together.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Easy to work in personal emergencies. Good benefits including PTO and medical coverage. Some departments run very well. Beautiful work environment. Many nice people within the organization.

Cons

Difficult to move up in the company. They tend to hire from without. On-the-job training non-existent. Favortism runs rampant.
