Vantaggi
Good Salary in an inexpensive area. Many opportunities for engineers. Company is going to be around for the forseeable future, and when times are good, employees recieve huge bonuses. Tuition Reimbursement available within six months on the job. If you leave within a year, you have to pay it back. If you leave within 2 years, you pay back 50%. If you stay for two years, you do not have to pay them back.
Svantaggi
Not recommended if you are not interested in the manufacturing industry. A lot of bureaucracy, too many hands in the pot, too many different opinions. Can't transfer until you've been there at least two years. No desirable locations, except for the downtown Chicago office. Don't plan on being trained if you are hired in a recession. Opportunities for international travel never materialized.
