Pros
- Good pay for a job that requires only a high school diploma. - Benifits are excellent and include tuition/books for college. - Mentoring exists for Engineers and Managers.
Cons
- There is a pay ceiling for Manufacturing Specialists. - There is limited possibility of promotion. - All new hires come through temp agencies. - It is very difficult to be converted from temp to TI. - Temp employees are the first to go in a downturn, regardless of individual performance. - Mentoring doesn't exist on the Manufacturing Specialist level. - Paranoid & stressed culture - Technicians, Engineers and Supervisors do not share knowledge. - There are lines that exist between groups - to each his own instead of working together. - Management style is reactive. - Cost savings is the main focus in the factory and is placed above quality.
