      A Bureaucrat's Paradise; An Innovator's Nightmare

      Engineer
      Current employee
      Asheville, NC
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

      Cons

      Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.

      Pros

      FIrst project was well managed, great team (one local colleague, everyone else was remote), delivered on-time. Good pay, good benefits, good work-life balance, offered a reasonable hybrid schedule (3 days/week remote, 2 days/week on-site), and corporate is committed to ethics.

      Cons

      Five months into the first project corporate announced a massive re-organization and mandatory 3-day/week Return To Office. Four months after the project I was hired to work on finished I'm still waiting for a new project.

      Cons

      Not very completive pay or compensation, benefits could use an overhaul to align with the new standard Upper management adds more resources while demanding more from employees and even removing resources, funding, and positions but requiring more output Ancient Systems across the board - HR, ERP, Operations, etc
