Worst Place to Work At

Pros

Awesome benefits and bonus. Also, flexible time schedules.

Cons

Management. There are no clear defined processes in place. As a result, management makes you do other people's jobs and holds you accountable for them. Management here is very unprofessional and use every excuse to make you do other people's tasks. Also, management tends to insult you in private, when others are not around. Foul language is used in closed door meetings and actions / tasks are never quite clearly communicated to the teams. This place has the worst management. They do not care for their people. They just care to get the job done, no matter who does it. You can be a Technician or you can be an Engineer, but management will expect you to do the job of a Program Manager or a Buyer. The environment is very unprofessional and I would highly advise against working here.

Pros

None except the 4-week PTO

Cons

It is 8:00 PM on a Friday night and you want to leave. Suddenly someone tells you there are issues and management wants them done before Monday. You are required to work weekends and overnight with no overtime pay. Do not complain, do not question, just work. No life balance.

Pros

Good benefits. Paid overtime. Probably the same "working" benefits as any other large size corporation.

Cons

False promises from management. Hard work is only appreciated behind closed doors through "words" NOT through bonuses or salary increases. A LOT of dead wood in the company! False rumours originating from management!
