Pros
There are great benefits at Micro Electronics, and most of the management is very good about giving you time off for personal issues and health reasons. The company goes to great lengths to retain quality employees for a long period of time. When Micro Electronics policy says Customer Service is one of the most important features of the company, it isn't just empty words--the company actually stands behind the policy 100%...something that most companies can't say in these times.
Cons
Even though the benefits are good, the pay is quite low at the Home Office for us worker bees. Pay raises have been held below the rate of inflation for the last 5 years, and many people were already making below industry averages to begin with. Low turnover means a lot of good people hang on for a long time, but it also means there's a lot of average performers who could stand to be cleared out. The Purchasing department runs rampant over the rest of Home Office, with little to no accountability for mistakes or limitations on what they can do--leaving other departments to either pick up the slack or hold the bag, depending.
