Pros

The people I worked alongside with were very helpful.

Cons

I was hired as a machine operator, on my first day they told i would have to start as an assembler. I was told that I would be on the machine after one week of assembling, a week later they told me it would be a few more weeks before i would be allowed on the machine. Thats when i decided to leave. Plus the area and machine they put me in was not what they showed me when I went to interview.
