Pros

Using Solidworks and excel was pretty cool for the first few years.

Cons

Pay and raises are under market value. Work is the same all of the time. There is only so much that can be improved with level instrumentation.

Pros

The people here treat each other like family. For an example, one of the employees who's house got flooded, was able to stay at a co-workers house for a few weeks... that's just one awesome example.

Cons

The workforce is lean... not too many backups if you are out on vacation. That makes your job critical, and sometimes increases pressure. I guess that is sometimes a good thing too, you can shine in your job and be noticed for it.

Orion Instruments Response

Thank you very much for your positive review of Orion. We are glad to hear that you felt like you were with family when you were employed here. That is one aspect of the culture we are continually looking to build. We are always so happy and grateful when our employees step up to help each other out. The flood of 2016 was a shining example of many of our employees coming together. You are right that the workforce has been lean lately. Unfortunately, due to a downturn in the economy, we had to trim the workforce back in 2016. 2017 blew in quickly, bringing with it a significant upturn in business. As a result, we are currently looking at all departments to determine if they are adequately staffed and will respond appropriately. Thank you again for your review and we wish you nothing but success in wherever the future may take you!
