Pros

An engaging interview process and a few reasonable managers willing to interpret policies ju'diciously.

Cons

Training is virtually nonexistent company wide. An atmosphere of impatience is the norm at the Phoenix IC. One of the senior managers there is reputed to be easily frustrated and despite his reputation continues to be promoted. An automated buzzer alerts everyone to the start time signifying when employees are to punch in at: break, lunch and the end of the day adding to the already negative atmosphere absolute drudgery. Safety policies are more often than not reactive which seeminly counter the principles of the lean manufacturing model claimed. Employee evaluations and feedback are sporadic at best. Given all these irritants: dangerous chemical exposure with minimal safety precautions, a negative atmosphere, the confusing complexity of the HR website; ADP, the myriad of user names and passwords to navigate through the company, virtually no protection from the elements especially a the Phoenix IC, a dog eat dog company culture, and nearly minimum wage for the Detail department or anyone to humble to blow their own horn when health issues psychological or physical inevitably result calling off more than 5 times in a 6 month periord is cause for termination. The attendance policy is simply abusive.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
