Pros

It's a large company, but the culture is somewhat intimate. You get to know just about everyone. There are company wide events that are nice, such as Thanksgiving dinner, and retirement parties. The 401k matching is quite good.

Cons

While it is nice to be able to get to know everyone, certain personalities are very difficult to deal with. There were also often problems with equipment, which made high activity testing cycles stressful. This goes back to difficult coworkers. Certain coworkers did less work than others, be it general maintenance or QC testing. Also, as the junior member I was moved around to different shifts often, which was difficult to adjust to.

Pros

Great benefits overall when it comes to medical, 401k match and other benefits.

Cons

Work load and the department has very high expectations for this job. It's almost like an account manager/ customer service roll.

Pros

I have no pros that I can think of

Cons

I was actually let go in 2019. It would not let me scroll in the drop down for the year. I was let go after returning from short term disability. The only time I ever was on short term disability in 11 years. My lawyer told me I could sue and would more than likely win. I chose not to.
