Pros

The products they make are very much needed by the consumers

Cons

Horrible people and redneck management. If you're coming fresh out of college and get offered a Temp-to-hire position here, do not take it. It was a total waste of my engineering degree. They had me stacking boxes and doing manual labor. The pay is horrible too; so it left me no choice but to milk the clock. Anthing ALCON/ASPEX; is total trash. Everyone there seems stuck and hopeless. It's a place where dreams die.
