Business Outlook

Pros

Good overall culture and nice facility (outside of current logistics regime)

Cons

Bad leadership and toxic work environment in logistics. I think this is common at alot of warehouses but Lam is worse. A whole lot of fake love to your face and back stabbing. Little opportunity to move up because of slow down. unless your one of them.

Business Outlook

Pros

Really good benefits, and ability to buy into stock purchase plan is a great way to build on savings. The compressed work schedule gives a great work-life balance.

Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement in manufacturing. Most rotation opportunities are given to those deemed by management as chosen ones for the next level. Pay for technicians and assemblers is very low with even more limited advancement opportunities.
