Generally good place to work, but they are starting to cut jobs in an attempt to outsource more.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary. Good benefits. (At least my job) good hours. Smart group of people (salary). Cool product.

Cons

Aging products, with nothing new really coming up. Hourly (union) workforce is disgruntled. Old school management in most places. If you have been there a long time, have a military past, and kiss up you will be a manager.
