JANA, Inc.

It's been a long time since I worked there but I really did enjoy it for the most part. My only complaint was the retired Air Force Colonel they had in charge while I was there would open the line of the speaker phones and eavesdrop on conversations. Needless to say he didn't work their much longer but he really made things awkward.

Most of the people got along really well and pulled their own weight. 
It's tedious work and not for everyone.
A lot of people came and went but they were constantly having to lay people off whenever the project work would dry up. This is the nature of the beast but if your good at it and you carve out a spot on a nice long term project it can be good money.

A normal day might include some email and conference calls with clients. Technical manuals vary greatly depending on the industry/application and intended audience.
Engineering drawings are used to create repair manuals and illustrated parts breakdowns.
CAD/IsoDraw illustrators create isometric views of exploded parts to allow for callouts to be added and assembly/disassembly instructions to be written step by step.

A day at work would involve solving technical documentation problems, editing technical diagrams, tracking progress of programs using spread sheets, using different computer software on drawings, publications and diagrams.
What you learn on day to day basis is coordination, time management, business process control, quality assurance, uses simple English to interpret high level technical work.
Management is knowledgeable, well educated, business oriented.
Co-workers are technical mechanics that enjoy the job challenge.
The hardest part of this job is the rework of projects with unclear directions.
The most enjoyable part of the job is working with the large diversity of people to accomplish the task.

Helping others whenever you were needed to meet the deadlines on aircraft manuals. I learned drill downs for invoicing for each projects to see what the labor cost would be. Management was outstanding, my co-workers were very friendly. The hardest part for me at first was mastering the Honeywell database system. Once I got the hang of it. I was the go to person to get it done ahead of schedule. Everyone and the fun games we would play during the holidays while we shared food that everyone prepared.

Their day starts early so you'd think getting out of work would be great when it came to traffic, but it was terrible. I was the only person qualified to do the job, but the "lead" was rude about basic English knowledge -- that she was wrong about. They are a family company so if you know the family at all, you won't be laid off. I was not lucky enough.
