Pros

You will learn different skills set. good for beginner Electronics or Electrical Engineers

Cons

Poor communication between the Team. You will have to obey rules from some French person somewhere. There is no R&D, even tough they say. The Electronics Team is more or less than Applications engineers, waiting for someone from France or China to develop for them. You better off staying away for this company. The race and class factor is dominant. You might be replaced by a Mexican .

Pros

To be honest the pay is great. I have not found anywhere locally that offers the same salaries. Many places are close but none that are on target.

Cons

The salary that you make is also one of the major cons. You make good enough money that you are almost stuck because to leave you would definitely take a pay cut. They refuse to promote within and always elect to hire outside of the company. They froze our pensions. They forcefully made us disband our Employee Association which held fundraisers throughout the year to fund things like our company picnic. They stopped having company picnics, employee appreciation days, and attendance recognition. Management seems to have a sincere lack of goodwill towards us as employees. The only recognition received is when you do something wrong...never when you do something right. Human Resources should be renamed to Management Resources as they seem to always go against the hourly associates. It is just overall a frustrating place to work. The company keeps taking away benefits and niceties that we are used to getting but they don't replace them elsewhere. Morale iis very low and it seems that doesn't matter.

Pros

1. Good company if you are a fresher. You will engage in hands on work experience.

Cons

There are many. Lets see each one of them. 1. No growth. No growth. No growth. 2. Unpaid overtime. Overall pay is less when you compare other employers in the area. Hourly guys are employed with big promises, most of them leave the job in a month or two due to long hours, hot and humid conditions inside the plant. 3. There are too many stakeholders for any activity. No one will communicate what is expected from you. No training provided. You learn as you stay in your job. 4. Poor Top Management and HR. No motivation from any of these main departments. 5. No basic minimum infrastructure for the Seymour location. No parking space. Not enough restrooms. No clean break rooms. Half of the appliances in the break rooms are broken. Parking spots are converted into storage areas. 6. You pay for the coffee. Terrible frozen food options onsite. 7. Not a single team building activity to boost the morale of a team who work tirelessly. 8. I was lucky, I resigned and moved to another company at the start of 2020, from what I heard recently, they fired almost 100 people without any intimation. Everone was asked to consume their vacations before they were laid off.
