A confusing cluttered venture.

Pros

The employees are smart, helpful, and fun to work with. The schedule is flexible to accommodate needs.

Cons

There were too many project going on at one time, there were less employees than current projects. There was difficulty staying focused/motivated when being pulled in every direction to do pretty much anything (non-job description related). Expectations were set way too high and mostly unreachable in the requested time. Goals and expectations for day to day tasks were unclear but later expected to be finished.

Thank you for your thoughts. DryMAX is a start up R&D company perfecting a new technology that is "new Science" and thus, is learning and looking for capital. The interns, such as this, were told in the interview that we are a drying company, it will be very hands on and that they will learn a wide variety of skills. It will be dirty (as all drying is) but rewarding for those who want to help develop the tech and receive shares in the company. "Management" keeps things moving so that we can learn through many types of products. Our main focus has always been grain drying, however, it is only here "wet" for 30 days out of the year. The rest of the year we are learning to dry materials that push the edges of what we know. All employees are valued - opinions, skills and knowledge - even from interns - contribute to the success we have built. It is not a desk job.

Pros

No need for an engineering degree because the "CEO" has a marketing degree but could have "gotten a full scholarship for engineering" if he wanted to. Comradery over hating your boss and constantly making fun of how this was never going to work but doing it anyways. If your a desperate college grad it's experience that you can put on a resume, don't expect to learn much unless you take the initiative.

Cons

Within the first month I was searching for another job. Forced to drive to Colorado and set up a prototype that we had just managed to get working the week before made from plywood and metal plates. Dangerous environment working next to RF with no safety equipment, high energy and open dryers. Then having to lie to customers when the CEO overpromised what we could deliver but the check had already been cashed. A Ponzi scheme in the simplest form. After Colorado it was a revolving door of "over 50 products" that all had varying chemical make up and drying behavior. This was only done to collect the small fee we charged to "analyze" the material. But don't expect to spend your time figuring out how to dry products. Instead spend your time loading, unloading, and driving the tons of corn and soybeans to the poorly situated facility and loading the material into supersacks to rot and spray up huge amounts of dust. The pay was barely enough to live off of and the promises of "bonuses and shares of the company" were always delayed for one reason or another. He will hire you as an "intern" to pay you the least amount possible then never bring you on full time. Expects you to do all the work and then take the credit with no compensation. I still remember when I got my offer for my next job, best day there.

Pros

Flexibility in terms of vacation days, Fun and friendly employees who are united by bad management. Good concept of technology

Cons

Upper management is so product oriented rather than being process oriented due to lack of technical knowledge or skills Management wants to keep acquiring new clients rather than focusing on one product and proving the technology Twice the number of projects than employees No learning curve because you get pulled into doing menial tasks
