Pros

Decent benefits. Cleaner than other factories.

Cons

Be very wary if you’re not white. Everyone is related to someone and word will travel quick if anyone has anything to say about you, even if it’s not true and they will always trust each other over an “outsider”. If you’re not white, just keep to yourself and don’t say too much to anyone. It’ll be much easier that way.

Pros

Excellent product quality and commitment to their market in medical devices. Work was interesting and easy to be proud of. Great teams, people care for each other.

Cons

Very below average pay, even for the region - this leads to the truly talented employees leaving for better pay once they are trained and valuable. Nepotism is rampant, it's all about who you know. Under performing employees get pass after pass due to their family connections, making it harder on everyone else. No career growth path for employees who want to contribute more.
