Pros

Work not terribly unpleasant most of the time (dependent on department), good training ground for subsequent jobs.

Cons

Two times working for Sanmina, two times laid off. More ups and downs than a monster roller coaster. Mandatory time off during the recession was harder on hourly than it was lower management (as a percent pay cut).

Pros

Good people in the rank and file and some of the management.

Cons

CEO froze comp, eliminated 401k match and stock options and forced use of vacation during plant shutdowns. Earned bonuses and commissions denied AFTER they were earned. Stock tripled in past two years and execs got bonuses but austerity program remains in place. Top talent has left.
