Pros

Very nice co-workers. Hard working people with decades of experience. Decent medical and dental benefits. Work life balance is awsome because no one works OT due to the change in policy.

Cons

Management takes advantage of employees due to their longevity at the company. Removal of OT and Call-in policies without any written notice. Straight time on worked holidays. No double time. No reimbursement for using your cell phones for business. No money for improvement to building. Limited money for production machine improvement. Very old machines. The manufacturing building is literally a step back in time 2 decades. Dell desktop PCs are at least 15 years old. Chemical factory with no hot water in the rest rooms. Low lighting in work areas. High turn over on new employees. Two years is the average due to the contract they sign you on with a great bonus. Above average annual review but received 1.5% raise. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Good Compensation, Dysfunctional Company

Pros

The salary is competitive. Benefits are good.

Cons

This is very challenging place to work. Very dysfunctional. All efforts are made overly-complicated and unproductive by being a Japan-owned company. You will try to make a difference within your first few months but quickly realize you need to assimilate into the desensitized, complacent work culture.

Pros

The techs are great! The fab techs, the maintenance techs, and even most of the engineers are great!

Cons

Management is extremely toxic! Absolutely no standards! Production supervisor on days makes up the rules as he goes and has relationships with his employees. Writes some people up for doing one things but doesn't write up others for doing the same. He's not fit for his role but they scraped the bottom of the barrel with him. If you're a woman be very careful applying for any role in this company! They are very condescending towards women and make misogynistic comments constantly. Dont bother going to HR about it, nothing happens.
