Pros

Nothing good can be said.

Cons

Workers from China dominates everything even though they are wrong sometimes. No proper training. Neglect safety. Management does not know how to manage. Expect people to work with gratitude when the pay is so low. Expect people to work overtime or come back to factory from home during weekends in any situation. If you cannot come they think you are lazy. Managers did not keep promises especially on salary rise.

Pros

Afforded the opportunity to rapidly learn and deploy ideas within the solar/PV manufacturing space, which is a first for the United States.

Cons

Navigating the Chinese/Local AZ culture within a high-volume manufacturing environment is a considerable challenge. Chinese bosses demand a siloed culture, consistent with Chinese-style operations with what is mirrored at HQ. Lots of friction and arguing.
