Pros

Decent health insurance, affordable PPO options for both individuals and family plans. Pay is decent.

Cons

You are grossly disrespected in this organization. Your opinion about the work or how to add value to improve an existing process does not matter. Oce is now owned by Canon, Inc. The company constantly lays-off and you never know when you will be let go. No job security and management is very abusive and oppressive toward its employees. Work-life balance here does not exist. They want you to practically live at the company and be grateful to have a job.
