Pros

Free breakfast and hockey tickets.

Cons

Everything. Don’t work in that machine shop. New manager that has never managed before. Guy will lie to your face and throw you under the bus to make himself look good. He’s been working on a do as I say not as I do environment. No CNC machines. All manual. Primitive tooling. Head engineer will downgrade your skills and experience. His father was even worse. Find another shop as this one is close to closing. Bonuses were discontinued and health insurance doubled.

Pros

The strongest part of the company was the long-tenured employees and team members who were there prior to the leadership changes. They were knowledgeable, supportive, hardworking, and helped create a collaborative and positive culture despite the challenges brought by new management.

Cons

Finance leadership was one of the biggest issues at this company. The VP of Finance was overly micromanaging, and the CFO set unrealistic expectations while communicating in a condescending and arrogant manner. Employees with years of experience were routinely made to feel incompetent and undervalued, which created a toxic and demoralizing work environment.
