Pros

Location was convenient, parking was not an issue. Salary was below market but you could haggle prior to being hired.

Cons

Employees were almost viewed as a burden, as if they were getting in the way of management. Too many managers with unchecked privileges. Poor planning. Poor strategy. Very hierarchical. Self-motivated employees were viewed as "rogue". Do not recommend.

Pros

Flexible start time (6–8 AM) and ability to make up missed time. Supportive direct management and good work-life balance. Opportunity to learn a variety of manufacturing skills.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive with the current manufacturing market. Limited career growth and advancement opportunities for technicians. Skilled employees often need outside offers to receive meaningful pay adjustments. Random drug testing policy may be a drawback for some candidates.
