Pros

It will be an ok place for building experience.

Cons

Everything is bad. benefits are not even close to other same size of this company. I don't know about other building or manufacturing side, but in RD side of engineering is really toxic. all the Chinese and Vietnamese are mean and rule. they yell at me by F word. without scaring that got in trouble because they know no one can replace them in their positions. If you want looking for a kindly talk or speak, this is not the place. HR is their side, so not even bother to talk to them. You are hourly, but they will expect you work 24hours with an 8hours paid. Feel like not an America company, more like an Asian's type of company. REALLY TOXIC PLACE. so careful, try to calm down around the worst people of the world in here. you will make it.
