Business Outlook

Pros

Knowledgeable and friendly people. Flexible work hours too.

Cons

Career opportunities are limited. Although there were many projects at our CA division, there were very few Core Team Leaders/Project Managers there. Most of the CTLs were back at HQ in Minnesota.

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary and benefits are very competitive. The management fosters a very professional and inclusive team work environment. Managers recognize individuals for their performance. Middle management spends a lot of time in the facility and when they aren't there are usually easy to contact even outside work hours. Severance package was generous.

Cons

Annual reduction in work force layoffs. Upper management located in Minnesota which sometimes makes project and performance not easily visible.

Pros

The pay was great along with the opportunity for advancement. Had a great experience there.

Cons

Not a good place to make a mistake as they tend to quickly assign blame. Unfortunately they are very email based with limited face to face conversation.
