Pros

Pay 60% of the top rate of similar work in the area, so its not the worst pay. Wow...

Cons

Where to even begin. Despite operating tax free for many years and amassing billions in profits, they shrink the wages of the future employees with a pay scale that lowers the average wage by almost $5/hr. It is also very clearly anti workers rights and does everything it can to union bust any organization attempts, so far as to allow certain "special" employees extra special rights to walk around the plant during work hours spreading lies about how terrible workers rights are and if you were to organize they will close the plant. It is the epitome of self service, in the company itself and the profits they refuse to share or the self serving legacy workers who seek to keep new employees down while they enjoy their cushy gig. A job that can never be replaced for them now, as no one else will pay these people 30/hr to sit around talking. If you believe in being a company man this is your place, though sadly with the lack of effort from the legacy workforce to preserve good paying jobs for the future generation your booty licking is now valued 25% less per hour. Same work though, you'll suffer the injuries just as hard, but now you don't get the profit share or the pension or the stocks or the trucks or the boats or vacations or 40 hour work weeks. Have at it!

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
