    Great company for people who don't want to work hard or make a quality product

    Apr 28, 2023 - Engineer in Troy, OH
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Easy work since engineering is outsourced overseas, very little micro managing since everyone is overworked and can't pay attention to your contributions. Very flexible work schedule. Sometime the companies provides hot dogs and cookies as a sign of thanks.

    Cons

    There is favoritism/discrimination by Race and "Diversity". Getting promoted does not mean you'll get a pay increase. Vacation and compensation are far below industry average, but the ease of the job makes it tolerable. Very little investment in equipment and technology for employees. Constantly changing goals and objectives whenever management changes which is very often (high turnover)

    Have your own cubicle in a real office. Good people to interact with. Manufacturing plants located in the Midwest, so not too far to visit.

    Depending on which group you’re in, the job can require a lot of travel. Including multiple trips overseas per year as well as a lot of local travel in the Midwest. Some people may like this but it’s a bit much.
