Pros
You will work on very cool projects. You will gain very valuable experience in a wide range of manufacturing techniques using cutting edge materials being either industry standard or even proprietary. Janicki Industries is not widely known but will surprise you on what a small privately owned industrial manufacturer based in a tiny town is up to.
Cons
They do not deliver on the promised yearly reviews. If you have a manager that seems interested in actually finding time to give said reviews, they will not be able to find the time . The schedule for projects from start to finish is so competitive in industry that the resulting work load/pace prevents any time for reviews. Managers arent supported enough to deliver reviews. There seems to be a racial bias on pay levels. Unfortunately a lot of the talented and hard working Hispanic employees see lower wages than average even after 10+ years at the company. I only know this because I and other employees discussed our personal wages. I found that I was making around seven dollars an hour more than said Hispanic employees with 10+ years of commitment. There seems to be no structure to wages. If you know what youre doing, you may get a decent wage to start, but if you dont know what youre worth, JI seems to have no problem with taking advantage of you resulting in insultingly low wages for some people and most of the people that I have met that have fallen for that policy are Hispanic. While a large majority of the employees at JI are Hispanic, there are only two that I know of that hold a position that involves running any of their many CNC machines and there are no Hispanics in management. Its painful when you notice that management is all Caucasian.
