Don't get sick, EVER!

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits offered.

Cons

Everything else! No sick time, so if you're sick you must use​ up your vacation time. If you're sick or have children who are sick, and you use all your vacation time (2wks) you can use up to 5 no pay occurrence days. Get 6, you'll get a final write up, get 7 and buh-bye! They're quick to fire, don't care about you or your family. But hey, if your a never-gets-sick, got-no-family or friends, hobbiless person who's only will to work kind of person. This job has everything you're looking for! Need FMLA? GREAT! Just call a third party company, wait a week for a stack of papers, get your doctor to fill them out perfectly (usually for a fee), get them sent in within a week of receiving them, then call relentlessly for the next 2 weeks to see if you were even approved. God help you if you weren't. If you did get approved, keep your own meticulous log of your hours because the 3rd party company won't be trustworthy enough and might get you fired if you accidentally go over your hours. Good ol boys club holds firm. Lots of useless monkeys as supervisors/NES/management. Bullying only gets dealt with if the victim of part of the club. I experienced a level 2 picking on almost everyone in my department, made several people cry and generally made work so unbearable many of us had to go on anti psychotics to be able to function at work. We begged to be moved either to a different department or another shift but our pleas were poo-pooed until another club member had a run in and the level 2 was finally dealt with and fired. And finally, the hours you'll be working aren't just your normal scheduled hours. Oh no, the overtime can sometime be 21 days straight, a single day off and back to 21 .

Pros

Have a very good opportunities to growth, you can learn a lot from the sister plants on the U.S.

Cons

The salary rate in Mexico is very below even with other foreign companies here, and when you get to a position the growth opportunities just disappear
