Pros

This is a good company to work for. In my experience, management seemed to really care about their employees. As an intern, much of the work seemed to be meaningful and needed to support the business. As a co-op they offer full tuition re-reimbursement if you work part time (20hrs a week) while attending school. This is a great deal, but can be challenging to work with classes.

Cons

The work seemed to be very repetitive. It is a connector company so unless you are in the high speed groups, the work seems pretty straight forward, not a lot of innovation. Tooling was also pretty repetitive, exciting for a bit but repetitive.

Pros

Good insurance. 5% 401k match. 7% of your gross goes in your 401k via profit share. Good amount of PTO. A lot of the people. Climate controlled. Clean environment.

Cons

Hourly pay too low to deal with their BS. Too much OT after promising none. Haven’t seen the plant manager in literally years. Production floor manager is full of it and plays favorites to the extreme. Unless you’re part of the clique, you’ll get nowhere. Instead of raises, we got board games for the break room. The restaurant in the building is gross and a joke. They preach that they’re “like a family”, but only because they want you working there for cheap. Should’ve never taken 12’s away just to mandate 10-20 hours of OT per week. No real recognition or appreciation ever.
