Pros

Large multinational corporation. Investments in technology, manufacturing equipment, on the leading edge in some business units. Large push into technology the past several years.

Cons

Training is non existent. Many people running around using industry terms, but no one knows what they are doing. Long work hours and inconsistent leadership. Business Units are decentralized from corporate and the loose connection impacts communications. Pay is below industry averages for similar jobs. If you have other career options - don't pick this one.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
