      Pros

      Workload never ends Coworkers are pleasant Additional Training Benefits PTO

      Cons

      Some Engineers have been there too long and take advantage of the techs, which has made them slightly complacent and not up to date in the field. Some cannot communicate effectively or work SolidWorks.
