Pros

Little supervision, so this is good if you work well independently. Pay is pretty good for entry level position. Work is not too difficult. Hours are fairly flexible so long as you reach your 40 hours. As a temp, your vacation days are also flexible.

Cons

I was in a group with no growth and improvements. I was not challenged enough and the work became tedious. I was conducting the same test for several hundred samples which did not teach me much.

Stable company with people that want to make a difference. Great place to learn about manufacturing practices.

No clear job roles and the company tries to squeeze work out of lower level engineers.
