Pros

Good company, with an incredible Engineering Group, that strives for High Quality and On Time Deliveries. A great group of employees for the most part, and they have a great equipment base. With the right guidance they could produce product with an extremely high level of quality.

Cons

Management gets in the way most of the time, they ask for your opinions, then do it there way. NONE of the managers actually has any training in the areas that they control, so the people in charge of manufacturing has no clue of how to machine parts. They spend more time doing rework of discrepant parts, instead of fixing the problem. Very hard to advance in the company unless you are a yes man. Compensation - trying to run a California company on Texas wages
