Pros

I've worked on the Software team for over 3 years now, and I've had the opportunity to move up into a more senior level role. The work is challenging (in a good way), always changing, learning new things every day. There is never a dull moment in software. I'm not as familiar with the hardware side of things. The company seems to be growing a ton since I started here, re-branding our name, making many new changes. I have hope that we will be successful for the future.

Cons

Starting salary was great, raises have been on the lower side each year (having been through 3 raise cycles already). I'd like to see a higher scale of bonuses and raises, especially for employees that have been here since the CasePick Systems days and really stuck it out during all the company changes (i.e. management, etc).

Sounds like you may have some great ideas on how to improve our employee recognition and should join us at our next Employees Activity Committee meeting.

Pros

Interesting technology and exposure to advanced automation systems. Opportunity to work on complex engineering projects.

Cons

Poor work-life balance with high expectations and little flexibility. Communication from leadership and the general manager was very limited, making it difficult to stay aligned. There was also a lack of transparency around performance expectations and job security. Even when performing well and fully understanding the environment and workflows, employees could be let go without warning or a second chance. This creates unnecessary turnover and results in lost knowledge, requiring time and resources to retrain new engineers who are unfamiliar with the systems.
