Pros
Compensated for any time spent at work over normal scheduled salary hours. Coming in on an off day lands an extra $500 in my paycheck. Benefit may be specific to MOC since AME employees work 10-11 hour days without any extra pay (for 40 hr work week). Opportunity to get promoted and advance within the Mfg Ops organization regardless of knowledge or experience. Recent college graduates in the industry for less than 2 yrs hold positions with job descriptions requiring 10+ years experience. Lots of job opportunities in the Mfg Ops group, everyone is either quitting or looking for positions elsewhere in the company. If you want a company to sponsor your green card, look here. Over 50% of our team are not U.S. citizens.
Cons
Low work life balance for MOC employees. Shift schedule rotates every 3 months from night to day so it is hard to join any teams or schedule classes to get your masters unless it’s online. Never receive full bonuses estimated in your sign on contract. Bonus program is geared toward compensating management versus individual contributors. Entry Level Engineers, Grade 4, can get up to 5% of their salary in bonus whereas the higher grade levels are looking at 20%+. Consider a fair bonus compensation package, giving employees all the same %, managers will still get more! Although I am not a woman, it is unfortunate to say that I do not believe they are treated fairly within our group. They (women) are constantly overlooked for promotion and in a top heavy management company, no positions in the group are held by a female. Women, STAY AWAY! Even though engineering is in your title, you won’t be able to apply any of your knowledge at work let alone have the ability to make any decisions yourself. Team is extremely micromanaged. Your 12-hr shift will look like this: manual dispatch to tools (since automation can’t be trusted at a multi-million dollar factory and no one is actively trying to fix it), be the go between for the module section managers and AME teams (reject tool time requests regardless if they are warranted), manual dispatch to tools. No team building, extremely low morale. HR is useless, don't waste your time. They don't address any issues. Ranking and Review takes over 6 months!
