Pros

When I first started working I only had an associate and was able to really learn through experience here from a good team of other engineers. I was able to grow as an engineer here while finishing my bachelor's.

Cons

At times it got slow and struggled to keep me interested. Being a family owned business has some negatives for growth in your position but a very small part of the overall equation.

Pros

Nice people at the bottom end of the food chain.

Cons

Family owned, poorly run business. Laid-off 50% of the employees in less than a two year period. The Company has no core competency, extremely poor quality (in and out) and management covers their own mistakes by blaming the labor. At this point I believe the President is purposely running the company into bankruptcy to cash out and move on to something else. A ticking time-bomb waiting to go off. No job security what-so-ever. Week to week financial micro-management means that any position could disappear at any time. Horrible atmosphere and constant over-riding doom in the air. Running a successful company does not even rate on their "Top-Ten" priority list.
