Vantaggi

There are some truly dedicated individuals that have a strong sense of camaraderie and support for one another. The company is willing to pay for training and offers a tuition reimbursement program for college courses and some certifications and licenses. Benefits are above average for individuals with two options for medical insurance.

Svantaggi

Long chain for approvals means deadlines are regularly missed and information is lost or confused as requests for approval pass through too many managers. Mish-mash of operating systems and computer hardware causes frequent workflow hassles as people have to be retrained for moving from Windows to Linux (or back) or old computers have to be rebuilt with spare parts. Recent attempts at cost-cutting in response to a 2-year struggle in profitability have resulted in workforce reduction and frequent changes in department leadership. Because of this instability and an inability to offer wage increases for the past 2 years, many very experienced people have left. Other machine shops can sell their combined years of experience, but Davis cannot. Revolving door with hires and terminations. Medical coverage quickly becomes expensive when adding dependents.

Vantaggi

The company has about 200 employees acrow 24/7 shifts. About 50 office positions and the rest are machinists, welders, etc. The company is great if you like your autonomy and you don't need constant supervision. If you are proactive and resourceful and keep on top of your workload, you will do great. That being said, I noticed there tends to be somewhat high staff turnaround in some departments, but from my observation, it seems to be mainly people who need constant supervision and hand holding and don't seem to ever break out on their own. The company seems very LGBT friendly, specially in IT, but I know of a number of people in other departments and have not encountered bigotry or issues like that.

Svantaggi

The company has a very niche customer base, and that can cause sudden staffing increases or decreases.
