Pros

On site health clinic for employee and spouse Family Day to bring your family members to see where you work Occasionally a great quarterly bonus

Cons

Hiring 'kids' who don't want to actually work at their job, they would much rather sit around and talk. Supervisors who are incompetent and are more concerned with how much work is being moved, but don't want to do anything about the 'kids' who want to sit around talking. Leads who don't do anything but sit around with the 'kids' and talk.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the lack of co-worker engagement where you work. We have many openings in our Fab in Gresham. Many of the positions we have there are entry level positions. So, the applicants that apply are often just starting out. By accepting employment with us, they have an opportunity to build skills and gain employment experience that can benefit them greatly in the long run. In this way, we also help the local community by offering gainful employment. This does not excuse anyone from putting in an honest day’s work. We expect our supervisors to engage and motivate employees and that everyone is working to their full potential. We are always interested in learning where we can make improvements, so thanks again for the review!

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
