Ventajas
Very people empowered. The president of the company makes an effort to know everyone on board. They try to find you another job within the companies contracts if you are about to leave through no fault of your own
Desventajas
As of this writing, MLT's contracts are mostly sub-contract and not the prime for clients. Sub-contractors are usually the first to go during a drawdown (which is going on right now due to the ravaged economy). Also of late, many contracts are not being won or current MLT contracts are being de-scoped. As a result, the threat of layoff seems to loom in the horizon. You are also the lone MLT employee at most sites: that can be nerve racking especially when you have other companies' employees deciding your fate.
