Pros

The projects are very interesting. Your co-workers can also be interesting but sometimes they're a bit forlorn. The pay and benefits are excellent.

Cons

Well, everyone seems a bit down. Its very stressful for some reason. There were many situations that were quite dangerous for no reason due to inexperience of workers, poor planning, and lack of adequate leadership. I was a bit offended to be in competition for a lead position with someone whom I had over a decade more relevant experience. It's kind of disappointing to still be promoting lads simply because they're lads. The tools are not well maintained (see--lack of experience). While I was working there they were constantly machining MDF on the CNC machines with no dust collection and sanding Corian with no dust collection. There was no cleaning protocol. Mandatory overtime at a moment's notice.

Pros

Supervisors work closely with employees on professional development (I've moved between multiple positions throughout my time here as I hone my skills) Projects are interesting and varied, and the company keeps employees looped in about their status Constantly growing, including moving into a bigger and more modern building Good company values and very clear guidelines

Cons

Growing pains of moving to a new location and expanding the workforce rapidly; Limited availability of upper management (though you can schedule meetings with them); previous warehouse/offices were maintained but not the best conditions to begin with (new location is much better); some long work weeks bc of project deadlines
