Pros

The pay is good for the work. Job security in economic down turns. Japanese structure with quality first mindset(some of the time) .

Cons

Anxiety attacks almost every day due to all the back stabbing. Lots of fake it until you make it. Promoting associates that do not need to be promoted because their friends and then nobody in management knows the basics. Lots of turn over due to bad management. Associate relations is ran by incompetent associates on a power Trip that would rather fire you than help you. Many associates came to me about being wrote up, having half their bonus taken away, and weren't explained options to cover their time that would have prevented a write up. Place is going down hill.

Pros

- great pay, especially for college students

Cons

Was hired in to work 24 hours a week with 40+ hours worth of work. "Marketing" team does zero marketing. The sales co-op's role is all data entry. All supply chain and logistics. Had to work in the warehouse half of the time with the most unpleasant lady who SCREAMS at everyone. Was packing boxes and carrying heavy parts across buildings (not in the job description). Asked management for help multiple times with the workload and nothing was done to help with until I was forced to quit. Was drowning in work when other co-ops would sit and watch Netflix all day. So unfair!
