Pluspunten

Great work colleagues and location. Valuable entry level knowledge. As someone who initially had no idea what safety compliance or regulatory standards were, there was actually some very useful information that I learned that will carry over to other jobs. If you can put up with the bs, you can move up pretty easily here because the turnover is so high that they are constantly looking for people to stick around and get promoted.

Minpunten

You are literally every department. Once you receive a project, you become shipping, billing, customer service, warehouse worker, project manager, technician, and engineer. You have to meet a sales quota, like a sales person. If you don't produce the company enough money every month you get a written warning and then eventually fired. This didn't happen to me, but I've seen it happen to others. There are times when you can't proceed with a project due to many different reasons, and that does not stop the quota that you need to produce. Senior management takes bonuses for themselves instead of distributing it to the engineers that do the work. They try to reward the engineers with small things like random pizza days or doughnuts in the morning day to make up for the money that they take. This job could be tolerable if there weren't so many inconveniences and if the senior management were better.

Pluspunten

Good group of people in local office.

Minpunten

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
