Pros

You get an initial good impression from the place, but this being the south, you will realize that it's only skin deep.

Cons

It seems like you can't go far at this place without finding numerous people who feel like they got screwed by management for one reason or other. That's some combination of southern culture demanding every thing be 'good' and the inability, or lack of desire, to actually address real management issues.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
