Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is above average in this area for experienced engineers. Benefits are above average: 4% 401(k) match, 3 weeks vacation on entry, additional company non-elective contribution to your 401(k) beyond the matching funds, willing to pay for education, flex-time.

Cons

Engineering and manufacturing is like two different companies with a great lack of cooperation between the two. In fact, there are regularly efforts put forth to cultivate conflict. Raises are rarely above 2% but very few other employers in the private sector are doing any better.

Field service engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a good benefit package, excellent health insurance, nice 401K. If you happen to work in the field service department you will likely have a job where you don't have to work too much during the year and it is very seasonal. If they don't have work you sit at home with a paycheck.

Cons

Would highly recommend any entry level individual stay away from field department. While the company boasts about its training, they have a difficult time training young enginineers especially with the current economy. Also as the economy got worse they hired more experienced indivdiuals as they lost their jobs for other related companies. Only to find they had about 2-3 times more workers in some departments and less than half as much work than a year earlier.
