What don't you like about working at Printronix?

"That they couldn't hire me like they wanted to because of an internal process that allows employees with 5 years of work to apply for higher positions if they have the desire even if they don't have the experience. So they had to promote one of the current employees and not hire me for the permanent position like they wanted to. But for that it makes them a good employer so I had no problem with it. This is a good company."
