Pros

4 weeks paid vacation annually, decent medical benefits, tuition assistance, cafeteria & gym on site, freedom to work on different projects

Cons

HR department is a complete joke, if you do reach out to suggest improvements you need to be ready for the repercussions that will follow in the form of gossiping, partial treatment, etc. For example, HR manager actually parks in the visitors lot because rules created by that department do not apply to that department. No room for growth due to a wide and top heavy organization. Levels in a typical department include: Senior Director, Director, Senior Manager, Manager, Supervisr and finally anywhere between 1-10 individuals actually working. The company could save millions if they would take the time to re-structure and cut out the floaters who are waiting it out for retirement. Recent graduates hired as "engineers" do work that could be done by administrative or specialist positions. Pay is lower than similar titles at other companies... but considering majority of engineers do not do engineering work it makes sense to pay less.

TOO TOP HEAVY

Pros

Paid time off work, optical,medical and dental benefits, big enough company to remain strong during weak economy, working in a controlled climate and fairly clean enviroment.

Cons

The advertised "PTO" time can be difficult to schedule. They beat their chests about how family oriented they are, in reality, the employee MUST really be family or friend to advance or have any flexibility in te company. Safety is an issue, and just another dog and pony show. Management is very demanding of the employees and very demeaning tho them, as well. They change their work schedule on the fly and expect employees to switch schedules (find child care arrangements etc..) within 24 hours notice. Its obvious that management is very inexperienced and unqualified for their positions. They are good at the blame game and pointing fingers at the hourly employees.

Pros

The co-workers are the number one pro of working here. Another perk is the discounted merchandise and being able to borrow professional photography equipment.

Cons

Regardless of defect rate, if your production isn't at par with an already high production rate, there are administrative repercussions.
