    Pros

    Some excellent managers on the team Your peers are a great group of individuals You'll learn a lot of good skills that will help you get hired elsewhere

    Cons

    This company is built on nepotism and that definitely has its drawbacks (no one is going to fire their friend's kid, their best friend, etc). Overtime is often expected - people have pulled all nighters and, honestly, no job is worth that.

    A wonderful place to work.

    Pros

    I was lucky enough to land a job there as my first job out of college and after 4 years I can only speak highly of this company. The employees there is a great blend of casual and professional. The environment is laid back and yet everyone is focused enough to complete the mission of going above and beyond for the clients. The owners are incredibly generous and humble people that inspire innovation. The combination of things makes it a wonderful place to work.

    Cons

    Sometimes management expects a lot of you, but they compensate you for this very generously with competitive pay and stellar benefits.

    Pros

    PowerTrain constantly has evolved with technology! If you love learning and tackling new technology, it is a dynamic place that expects you to learn new products each year,

    Cons

    You have to be self motivated as they don't micromanage. The staff absolutely mentors and provides you with help when needed, but you do need have an open mind to tackle whatever projects come your way.
