Pros

The office is nice and the Edwardsville area is a good location. Other engineers were very smart and helped each other learn the tools and the industry knowledge.

Cons

Owner promises things he cannot deliver and treats "underperforming" employees very harshly. Pay was well below average. Working beyond the standard 8-5 was expected with no overtime / comp time. No chance to advance, despite the very high turnover. I saw nine employees leave during my time there, and the entire company only had maybe ten employees at most; it was a revolving door.

Pros

Snack! on Fridays (provided by the employees and the employer)

Cons

Public shaming, verbal abuse, and bullying tactics. Such behavior creates a toxic work environment. Micromanagement. (it's supper annoying) Unfair labor practices, including the failure to pay greater rates for overtime work, and other issues. Harassment and discrimination based on educational background, ethnicity, nationality, and gender. Lack of access to clean working facilities, particularly in regard to restroom facilities. Access to clean toilets is a basic human right! Projects are boring. Definitely not a good place for those in the early stage of their career. Those need a knowledgeable mentor who behaves appropriately.
