Pros

Columbia City Indiana is a nice enough small town, quiet, low cost of living, easy commute with minimal traffic congestion.

Cons

With department of defense budgets declining this company is in real trouble, a career dead end. On top of that this company practices management by intimidation as standard operating procedure. Very unpleasant working environment. Stay far away from the USSI division of Ultra Electronics.

Pros

Benefit package is great, the employees on the production floor are awesome. Weekends off for most.

Cons

Two acquisitions have changed management way over the threshold of what teams can handle. Absolutely everything is done on paper and Excel, very little real time data. Rude leadership without answers to everyday issues makes success very hard to attain. Especially when the target is constantly moving.
