Pros

Pay is amazing, above average for the industry, way above average for grads. Work is interesting and dynamic. Location is a little boring but cost of living is phenomenal in cedar rapids. I'd recommend living in Iowa city or Coralville if you're young and single

Cons

We've been bought out twice and now are under Raytheon Technologies. At close to 200k employees, you feel that you're just a number (actually a number since name IDs have now changed to 9 random numbers). Getting help from HR, IT, and other services that were once great and responsive has deteriorated a bit

Pros

40 hr/wk Easy work for the pay Ability to use vacation with little notice Some leadership is willing to help you move up and increase pay quickly

Cons

Leadership does not communicate with one another Little room to move up or into another department without someone leaving Poor standards in comparison to other sites within the company Employees who do not meet efficiency standards receive no consequences and are not informed of process issues (leadership issue) Tribal knowledge seems to run the site, not standard work It is a family affair.
