Pros

Great health, vision and dental benefits. Very clean facility. Easy work, good pay. Long off weekends. Nice cafeteria and break room!

Cons

Where do I start??? Due to the redesigning / restructuring of the solar panel, many employees are concerned about their future here at First Solar. It is apparent that we'll be headed to the unemployment line soon. With that concern, there is little enthusiasm coming into work, not knowing when our number is up. We're actually afraid for our safety as well. Minor vandalism has happened within our facility. The overall moral has declined with rumors flying around as to how we'll be "impacted" as we were told, about half the workforce will only remain.
