Pros

It's close to downtown Everett which is handy if you live in Everett. They have a hodgepodge of many different CNC machines including one big h-mill that spindle spontaneously grenaded that happened to be a rebuilt CNC that had been immersed for 3 weeks in the flooding after Katrina

Cons

Everything else. If you're not treated like you're some invisible ghost you'll get nitpicked and berated by people that don't have any clue what they are doing. They think you're a maintenance guy too and somehow an expert on how to dismantle and rebuild systems of your CNC yet somehow keep it running 99% of the time. Get a millwright if you want CNC repairs lickety split. The shop floor is below street level making the whole shift feel like doing time in a dungeon. Which it can be like in my case the 2nd shift guy didn't show up so the foreman said to stay a little longer as the 2nd shift guy would be there "any minute now" yeah, I left at 8pm 14 hours after I clocked in. On breaks everyone is silent as any cheer and will to live had been drained out of them ages ago.

Pros

Small but steadily functional aerospace manufacturer. They really care about their employees and there are lots of growth opportunities.

Cons

I really can’t think of any!

Pros

Not much on the positive side of things.,pay is ok as a beginner. The owners could add some love to the environment in the work area.

Cons

Production supervisor, team leads and senior staff could spend more time on the shop floor, getting to know it's people more. Needs to create a great trading program for current and new employee each time they are needing to be up to speed with current aviation technologies. Reason I gave a 1 star was that after three weeks🤣on the job, a lead got upset and went into a rage over something very simple that could have been easily corrected on some paperwork and had a better day all together. The rage was so bad that it shook me to the core almost like somebody went in and had a negative moment on something and washed out on other employees at the same time
