Pros

Fantastic culture, great people. Organized environment where expectations are clearly set and roles defined. Also best management team I’ve seen.

Cons

Difficult to move between departments if you are not in management development. That said, I’d still encourage anyone offered a job to take it.

Pros

now dont get me wrong Brooks is alright in about three categories, the insurance is absolutely phenomenal, 401k matching is also great and lastly they are understanding and flexible with scheduling and getting time off

Cons

First things first, as someone relatively low on the totem pole I do alot and I mean alot of other peoples jobs who get paid alot more than I do. Secondly, they have these quarterly meetings they make you go to and talk about how much money the company makes, then turns around and gives you a 13 cent raise (exact number) and a pizza party and thinks that's going to make everyone jump for joy, thirdly production people quite literally get treated like second class citizens, they have a party from 12-3, production gets 25 minutes to go out and be a part of the company while everyone in the office stays there for the duration, fourth are you a female? are you easy on the eyes? congratulations! your going to move up quick! under qualified? dont worry you'll do fine. Fifth favorites. favorites. favorites. Sixth there are people who have been working there for 10 years who arent making more than 12 dollars an hour. 12. Seven there have been random times where all the sudden Oops! we somehow dont have any work for an entire shift of people for two weeks so stay home and dont get paid (has happend four times in 4 years)

Pros

Friendly co-workers. Clean environment. Free coffee.

Cons

Predatory hiring practices, focusing on immigrant workers. Hired to take jobs at low and varying pay rates for the same job. Upper management has shared that the company has had record profits in the first two quarters of the year. And, yet has implemented mini layoffs in it's most profitable clean room unit . From 5 continuous days to just every Friday of a month. Because, "the sales orders have slowed down". Instead of using these days to properly train and cross train employees. The usual corporate mentality of maximizing profits. Rather than, showing INTEGRITY and RESPECT. by investing in their employees .
