Pros

Friendly workshop staff. Benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Management is extremely disorganized. You get thrown under the bus for the mistakes made by others. Management straight up lies to you again and again and again. They don't believe in annual cost of living increases, and they make a big deal out of a 1.5% "cost of living increase" that doesn't even cover inflation just because it's not something they do ever. They promote liars and people who step on the heads of others to get ahead. They'll work you to the bone if you show initiative. Engineers are just made into project managers. If they like you where you are, there is no opportunity to move within the company.

Pros

Great culture between employees, great people to work with

Cons

No problems ever get fixed they get worked around, no learning from the past and terrible tariff management, low salary and raises were 1% and no opportunity for career advancement despite many employees wanting opportunities within the company and when opportunities do arise employees are denied or offered no incentive to accept those opportunities like title changes or pay increases
