Pros

Flex hours, 9/80 work week, fantastic 401k match, excellent benefits, the best benefits I have had since moving to Florida over 20 years ago. Interesting work, challenging, great Co-workers. Boss was great (Terry). Can't think of a negative. Other than getting caught up in a layoff. Typical for military manufactured products. Of you have a problem or stuck, you are not left hanging. Would love to go back if an opening should arise. The place I would be happy to retire from here when that time comes. Pay is excellent, excellent for Florida.

Cons

ECO process a bit cumbersome and slow paced. But I am used to not as strict a process where as things move in hours not weeks.

Pros

Cool projects. 9/80 schedule. Decent benefits.

Cons

Toxic management. Old boys club mentality. Burn out culture. Resistant to change. Unlimited PTO is not unlimited and you are made to feel guilty for using PTO and penalized for exceeding 20 days. Management targets workers and plays favorites. Open mocking of other employees based on knowledge they shouldnt have. Very clicky, kinda like high-school. Located and in the absolute middle of no-where Florida. Those that have been there a long time only stay there because they live near by. Under market value for salary. Care more about optics than productivity. Set unrealistic timelines, workers are penalized for not making them but management is never held to the same standard. Everyone plays the blame game instead of owning up to their actions.
