Vantaggi
- Wide variety of work - Easy going employees - Work is usually fun - Small company - Lots to learn Overall its a very fun work place where you'll gain valuable work experience as a mechanical engineer.
Svantaggi
- Very poor compensation for young engineers - Benefits are lackluster - No flexibility with working hours - High employee turn around rate, in my <2 year time we've had about ~6 people come and go - Owner operated - I really wish I didn't have to mention this but seriously... there is only 1 "mens" toilet & 1 urinal (females get there own bathroom) in a building filled with mostly men (~25 men). This is extremely annoying when you have to use the bathroom (#2), sometimes you won't end up getting to go all morning because people are in and out all the time. The owner of the company which you may have to interface with often is very selfish & has a temper issue. Although I was never on the receiving end, if you make a substantial mistake he won't hesitate to yell at you & shout profanities. He eventually comes around and apologizes after his little temper tantrum. It would seem that the owner is pretty much only interested in adding more zeros to his bank account & looks at employees like living, breathing... profit margins. At times I found his business ethics & practices to be very questionable. Beware of salary negotiations, or lack thereof negotiations - likely that you won't reach your desired salary unless you're shooting below market value.
