Pros

Health benefits along with tuition. That is the only motivating factor for people staying. Short commute

Cons

Managers that do not know how to think outside the box and can be hesitant when ideas are offered. Creativity seems very limited, and in order for employees to flourish that needs to be encouraged. Favoritism and perception issues especially in hiring continue to exist. I recall one of the other OA's complaining about attending a meeting about how to record bathroom breaks on your timesheet. This seems like a waist of time, couldn't this have been accomplished in an email?

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
