      Pros

      The products you are helping produce are very interesting, high-tech and valuable to society. Most of your co-workers are very friendly

      Cons

      They pay and treatment of employees is very low. It make for a workforce that's disgruntled. They are typically so short on hourly manufacturing workers that some employees who are not part of manufacturing have to come in to help get products completed.

      Pros

      You will never go home early unless you want to. The stability of knowing you will get your 40 hours a week as a full time employee is a plus.

      Cons

      -Loss of valuable employees -Pay is too low -Workload is too high -Expectations from new people is too high -Proper training is scarce at best -New people train new people -No proper planning -No recognition for above and beyond work -Those that do the bare minimum get better recognition -You have to start as a temp -The people that know what they are doing are leaving -Management has no idea how much work actually goes into a job position but still expects more -Mandatory overtime every 3 months -Poor communication from management and between shifts -Nobody is held accountable for there mistakes They will fire you for going to the bathroom even though it’s against OSHA regulations Not much room for growth -Customer is constantly changing there minds last minute even though they are right next door and over see everything and can plan better in advance -Work instructions are useless and unclear in places where they exist and in areas where they need them most they don’t exist. -questionable safety standards since there has been a gas leak for several weeks but employees are expected to continue working -power outages on a regular basis causing electrical issues with equipment -warehouse staff doesn’t know the value of the parts they deliver so they are handled without any amount of care -They will accept anyone that has 2 arms and 2 legs to work even though they may not speak English and there job requires them to be able to read English The list goes on…
