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.

Pros

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
