      Worse Work Environment

      Manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people working there in a market that's growing.

      Cons

      This has to be the worse work environment. The nepetism with in the leadership is unbelievable. Their children, long time friends and old colleagues can do nothing wrong and no one else can do anything right. Work life balance is horrible. Late night calls with Korea nightly and long days at the office. Managemetn doesn't care about the work life balance at all.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay. Yearly raises. Yearly chances for bonuses. OT pay after 40 hrs, Double time on Sundays (if you've worked the whole week leading up).

      Cons

      Often work 7 days a week for 6+ months on end. Poor communication. Most decisions are made by Korean HQ. Management will often require weekend OT but will not run production

      Horrible Place to Work!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My coworkers were the best. The cafeteria food is good.

      Cons

      Management is delusional. Managers constantly lie about production capability to their bosses in Korea, then fudge numbers to meet those false expectations, and then proceed to constantly berate, yell at, and treat like garbage their Engineers. Being an Engineer at this nightmare of a plant means living under constant stress from management. You can expect ZERO personal time. I'm not exaggerating. You will literally be expected to remain on-call 24/7 and be guilt tripped for going home to sleep. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. With the work hours we are forced to put in, calculating hourly wage from salary gets you around 14-15 $/hr.
