Pros

if you are interested in working for a company that cares for the employees, is still growing and you help produce something that you can be proud of - VESTAS Windsor could be your ticket to all that. You'll be part of a team - get awesome training and very good benefits. All the reports about sinking morale, no strategy, ... are probably from folks that have been around wen the downturn in the wind industry happened. When there is not enough customers paying - it is tough to work for any company. But this is a great company - check it out .. I am excited to work here in Windsor

Cons

got to be a teamplayer - don't try to hire if you are not .. you'll hate it. high quality expectations - if you want to show up at work having had a beer or smoked stuff that might be possible in Colorado now - DON'T HIRE HERE, you'll waste your time ... it's not gonna work!
