Pros

The only pro from them is their spacious break room in their Camas location is top tier. It was the old Sharp back in the 90s. The semi-annual bonus program is okay.

Cons

I had a coworker constantly micromanaging me which was the reason why I left. Very low pay. No promises on getting promoted or going up the career path. The 12-hour shifts and getting up at 4 am 3-4 days a week are pretty rough.
