Pros
I felt highly valued and was treated with respect. I took a decrease in pay from my previous employer to work at TI due to lower COL area. TI's small facility was a refreshing change from the square-mile campus of the mega-corp I left TI for. No manufacturing environment would ever be described as 'relaxing', but the work pace at TI was close - more comfortable and the workload felt more realistic compared to the unsustainable mess I came from. Management was knowledgeable of the work and typical of Mainers - down to earth, understanding, friendly. Company supplied footwear every six months.
Cons
Like everywhere else, shortstaffed. Employees are not trusted/supplied with a smartphone or a personal laptop Since I was highly valued as a technician on the factory floor, I could tell that I would have a very hard time with upward mobility Long hours - 12 hour shifts are the standard in this industry, but in an ideal world it could be split 3x8hrs. Safety was a big concern for me there - my previous employer required us to wear full SCBA gear when opening equipment, yet even wearing a respirator was actually prohibited at this facility. Subsequently, my teeth would hurt when I would be working on an open chamber - quite concerning. While I'm sure they were technically up to OSHA standards, chemicals didn't seem to be stored as safely as they could/should. LOTO practices felt substandard and often ignored. Ergonomics were comical. All computers in the factory were at an awful standing fixed height, not tall enough for anyone to be comfortable, and I was told there was no plans to move toward ergonomic adjustable desks.

Pros
- One of the main thing I love about TI is good work-life balance. Company always promotes for family-first. No matter how critical the deadline is family is always the first priority. Obviously have to communicate this to our internal stakeholders, but everyone is understanding and supportive including the managers. - Everyone helps out one another. During my 6 years at TI, whenever I have been stuck on a challenging task, i have always had team-members be there for me and vice-versa. - Great rewards and recognition. You get recognized and evaluated annually. You do great job, you will be rewarded immensely. Additionally, TI has profit-sharing program which employees get up to additional amount of $$$ - Always opportunity for moving to different roles or trying out new things. For example, work in a different IT area or perhaps try out a whole new different role not related to your field.
Cons
There not too much of disadvantage of working for TI. It's great company overall. I have seen people comment that i can get stressful; however, I know in the IT section everyone is willing to help and listen to you. If your getting burned out or work being stressful, then that should be communicated to your manager. Manager is always listening and supportive!
