-Asked to do blatantly dangerous and OSHA-violating work on several occasions. Life insurance policy is laughable
-No advancement opportunities until people ahead of you retire/quit
-Unwilling to give raises for performance outside of standard review period.
-Low pay for engineering graduate. Very low when considering hourly breakdown without overtime
-Pressured to work more than 40 hours every week with no overtime pay. Typically 60 hour weeks
-Rewarded for doing a good job with more work
-Disconnected management to employee relationship
-Extraordinarily poor "bonus."
-Expect contact and work while on vacation
-Job description/interview severely understates responsibilities and expectations
-Repeatedly asked to give more, more, more
-Travel 3-4 weeks per month
-Share hotel rooms
-Company owned by ~10 Upper-level management people and a holding company who keep all profits, if any
-Retirement/Insurance/Benefits/Pay are all below industry average
---Bottom line, Poor opportunities/compensation, dangerous work environment, gas-lighting and disconnected management, no rewards. Not a great time.
