      Pros

      Company culture is amazing. All the scientist and leaders that I had the opportunity to work with were always willing to help in any way they could with professional development and life advice.

      Cons

      None that I can think of

        Pros

        Teamwork is a valued concept, the culture is excellent.

        Cons

        The communication from executive/senior level management to the shop floor could be improved.

          Business Outlook

          Pros

          I was allowed to work on different projects at the same time, which helped me to explore what I like in the industry.

          Cons

          There were quite a few roadblocks in my projects due to management not having the time to give me the necessary information for me to continue my work.

            Pros

            Lots of opportunity to learn new things. Get to work hands on with current products, work to develop new products, and even test competitor products. So far have received a bonus each year and pay raise. Team I work on has quarterly events and the culture while success driven is laid back.

            Cons

            So far nothing beyond what you might experience at any company. Nothing that stands out.

              Cons

              They don't listen when you tell them something is wrong with the machines. They claim they want our opinions to make our jobs easier but when we give it to them, we're not heard and we're stuck working in conditions that could be improved.

                        Cons

                        The organization shifts so fast it is hard to achieve those goals that take more than 1-2 years to accomplish. Changing structure so frequently can lead to poor performance reviews, and more turnover than is needed.

                      Case Manager

                      I applied to 4 jobs last week. Two companies replied that thy are reviewing my application and I have an interview tomorrow with a third. The company I'm interviewing with is the one I'm least interested in of the four, though it is better than my current job. What is the etiquette if I'm offered a job with this company but I want to wait and see what response I get from the other 3? Should I tell the company I need a couple weeks to decide, or be up front that I'm waiting for other offers? Or?

Outfitted with Pentair filtration technology, the trailer offers free filtered water for Fairgoers to fill up their reusable water bottles, helping avoid the need for single-use plastic water bottles at the Fair. #PentairProud
