It was a pretty good place to work but can get laid off easily.

Pros

It was a good job if you're more of a loner or just like working by yourself. You have ear plugs in all day and just pack parts. It's really simple but you do need to pack a lot so you can't really slack off. You get a ten min break before your lunch break then you get a twenty minute lunch break.

Cons

The job was very repetitive. You just stand there for 8 hours and count parts and pack parts. Makes for a long boring day sometimes.

Great Learning Experience! Very High Expectations on your time...

Pros

I am in the Lighting division. Fast moving market with a lot of exposure to a broad range of issues. You learn a great deal every day. Benefits are good, promotions are tough to come by and you really have to direct your own career to get ahead. All training is on the job...

Cons

Can be a very a hostile environment. Not everyone pulls their own weight, but expectations are still for the work to get done. If you require recognition for your efforts beyond salary, not likely to be a good fit.

Pros

Pay was good and the job was easy. I liked my main boss quite a bit. My job was interesting and was able to increase production in it.

Cons

Layers and layers of management mean you often have a dozen bosses all with different agendas that push you in different directions.
