Pros

Technicians are supportive. Generally pleasant employees.

Cons

Empty promises and illusions of growth from management. Contractor conversions can take years. Poor escalation structuring. Systems Engineering seems understaffed and/or under supported. Employees are misguided due to lack of direction and horrible communication. A lot of tribal knowledge that rarely makes it to other ATE’s. High turnover rate for ATE’s since you are either outsourced, cross trained on a new product last minute or burnt out.

Pros

Free breakfast and hockey tickets.

Cons

Everything. Don’t work in that machine shop. New manager that has never managed before. Guy will lie to your face and throw you under the bus to make himself look good. He’s been working on a do as I say not as I do environment. No CNC machines. All manual. Primitive tooling. Head engineer will downgrade your skills and experience. His father was even worse. Find another shop as this one is close to closing. Bonuses were discontinued and health insurance doubled.
