Pros

Super lax dress code and weekly luncheons are nice. Low supervision, you are left to your own devices and therefore great for self-motivated people. Not much structure which may benefit those who need flexibility.

Cons

Hiring too many PT inexperienced people just to keep costs down. Completely reluctant to keep up with common operational technology in spite of claims to be technically savvy. ( product only) There is NO management of personnel, inept training and extremely unfriendly and unapproachable upper staff. Unless you are completely self sufficient, this is not ideal for you. If you need nurturing, mentoring, guidance or feedback then definitely not a fit. Office has been in various stages of “remodeling” for many years. Bottom line is way more important than any employee. Have seen some pretty unprofessional behavior.

Pros

Almost no Pros for this position, if you are just looking for a manufacturing role this seems like an alright company that at least tries to care about you. The free lunches are usually pretty good too.

Cons

Bad pay, very strict time schedules, and ZERO engineering experience expected to be gained from this role. You are treated as a full time manufacturing associate. This entire company does not know how to utilize talent accordingly, engineers are doing menial tasks and you are doing NOTHING. Every promotion or managerial position seems to be decided entirely on if you are related to someone higher up in the company or if you are buddy buddy with a manager.
