Overall an enjoyable place to work, Plenty of career guys who have been with the company a long time. The small number of bitter former employee reviews here don't represent the company as a whole.

The good thingsNice facility with quality machinery in a friendly environment designing and manufacturing their own products for sale around the world.

The challengesNothing you wouldn't experience at any other company of this size.
