Pros

Knowledgeable management, operators, technicians. People are easy to talk to and provide help when needed. Very friendly work environment. Good pay.

Cons

Sometimes left in the dark with goal of a project. Often times would be swamped with work, sometimes have nothing to do. Not an even flow but that may just come with manufacturing.
