Pros

Innovative workplace, with fast paced projects and room for growth. Most folks have a can do attitude and are team players. Ownership is not afraid to financially invest in the company, its employees and new processes. From a benefits standpoint Janicki offers good health care, and a competitive vacation + sick time package. The owners of the company truly do care about their employees, the work they do, and the community-- unfortunately their actions do not always reflect this.

Cons

From a company culture stand point there is an unspoken culture of fear, unequal power distribution, back channel negotiations, empty "yes's", and the big kicker--- nepotism. The company has great potential, but struggles with cyclical periods of growth and contraction. There is a very evident lack of trust that stems from the owners, down through management levels, expect micromanaging. There is a significant lack of diversity. 98% of management is comprised of white males between the ages of 30-55.

Pros

Janicki is a large company and expanding quickly, but still has the feel of a family owned company. There is a great work to life balance and they focus a lot of the core values. Although its a 24-7 operation, communication from the floor to uppers is always open. Everyone is genuinely willing to help and are happy to train. I have worked here over a year and don't regret the move. Its a fantastic company to work for.

Cons

Its a faced paced environment that requires you to think on your feet at all times. Its not a plug and play world. So if you can't function in that type of work environment, you won't succeed.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Company is growing like crazy. If you are able to stay away from the corporate politics and gossip, you will thrive. Management honestly wants employees to have a good work/life balance.

Cons

Company is growing like crazy and there are changes coming to the org chart. Lots of different tech solutions being used and support for all of them can be a challenge. No pay boost for obtaining government clearance unless job is 'engineer'.
