6. Linclon is a big success - but it's not for everybody

No benefits, vacation, sick days, etc. - up to you to do it out out of pocket Which ain't bad when your pockets are full - or your spouse gets bennies.

Not a comfy place to work - drafty dump of a plant, go hard or go away culture. Spend a dime, 20 people will be on your ass about it.

Design bordering on genius - Linclon makes sophisticated electrical equipment that functions beautifully (I own 2 Lincoln welders), after being assembled with air tools and hammers, with self-tapping screws no less.
