Pros

Getting your foot in the door to manufacturing and assembly work. Decent benefits.

Cons

Cheap pay, lack of work. Forced mandatory overtime when short staffed/backed up on production. Abnormal work scheduling. Inability to move out of section. You will not be learning new skills or be cross trained. You are essentially taught one thing and are trapped there. People who complain or don't want to do their work get away with everything. Whereas reliable workers are taken advantaged of.

Pros

Can't think of any pros at IPG Medical.

Cons

Don't go by the size of the company. They have no processes in place. Extremely toxic leadership. They have no control on the old guard. You will see a lot of people there for decades, but not a lot of new people. New people run away from there. The place is full of extreme micromanagement, disrespect towards employee's education and experience. They like to plan but not follow the plan. Resource allocation is a joke. A handful of people are overworked and a majority of people are twiddling their thumbs. Only those knowing the old guard benefit from that place. Everyone else is an outsider.
