Pros

Benefits package 15 hours a month paid time off, medical, dental, eye, term life insurance, health/fitness incentive, 401(k) matching, employee stock purchase discount, employee discount on products, etc., continuing education paid for

Cons

Unstable work environment. It seems like they are wanting to become a member of the gig economy. Come do a job then let you go for your next gig. Benefits for continuing education that doesn't get approved because it interferes with work. Paid time off can be accured up to 400 hours, but the company will force you to use it down to 40 hours. Probably a new cap is soon to be announced. Company wants their apps on your phone, your computer logged into work from home, and able to repond 24x7, which gets ugly when there are things you want to get done in your own life. With the added bell curve performance review, for groups like mine that are not growing then every fall someone will fall into the lower end of the curve and be let go. For groups that are growing, your being hired into a team with experienced members and it will be hard to beat any of them and get past the low rating. Don't plan on the 10 year career. This is a 5 year plan. Older workers are being strongly encourage to leave the company in Boise, ID.

Pros

The hours are excellent, as there are few other jobs that offer 3 on/4 off, 4 on/3 off where I can have such an excellent work/life balance. Almost everyone I have encountered has been very easy to learn from and work with. Micron offers many benefits that support having a family, including direct financial, TOP, insurance, and savings benefits. Get to work with humanity's most cutting-edge technology providing one of the most important products in human history. Fulfilling work.

Cons

The pay is acceptable, but you will be seriously pressed to find a place to live near the main site in Boise. Housing availability for families is severely limited while apartments, while more numerous, have become significantly more expensive to rent. Between that and the rise of the cost of living in the area, the base pay here is difficult to cover everything if you didn't show up with some monetary reserves. People are trying their best, but training very much needs attention getting better organized and structured. Especially working in an R&D environment with so many different dangerous materials and equipment. Even more seriously, there is some doubt that you can get proper support if you are actually injured in this environment. You may find yourself getting told whatever injury you suffered at work is a "pre-existing condition". This is not a hypothetical.
