Pros

Weekly Pay Decent Hourly Pay $21.00 for QA Tech

Cons

Disorganized Management-They don't give a direct answer to anything. They leave it up to the employees to figure things out for themselves. Always trying to change things. One day it's one way, the next it's another, the next it's back to the old way. Perpetual Overtime-They schedule overtime just to schedule it. There's no practical reasoning behind it. They say it's just to get ahead, ahead of what? Then the assembly line runs out of parts come Saturday because the Supervisors and Production Planners don't communicate very well. Then they schedule more overtime to produce those parts. It's a never ending cycle. No matter how hard you work during the week, they will schedule OT anyway. Very poor training process. Management wants nothing to do with training so they leave it up to the employees to train each other and some of those employees aren't even qualified to train themselves.

Pros

Coffee machines around every corner. Great lunch staff Exercise facility Can be a great opportunity if you are in the right department with the right manager?

Cons

2 points for some awesome USA-made product and semblance of company direction, but the rest of the experience was beyond terrible. -Would definitely question any positive reviews on Glassdoor. Revolving door, will hire you if you have a pulse. Clearly no discretion to some of the hires. Example: My manager couldn’t make it as an entry-level test engineer, but somehow became the manager of the department? Treats good employees like meat grinder. Coworkers with cooperative ability and social skills rare here. Expect aggression and inferiority complexes. Lowballed on salary when hired by 5 k. Raises based on ivory tower “HR goals”. Manager picks your goals without your input, resulting in some impossible goals and 1% raises that don’t outrun yearly inflation. Definitely not a good place for recent graduates to build career. Too many sociopaths and good ‘ol boys on top of their mountains doing whatever they want. More politics and power struggle than operation. Test lab had no feedback to design process. Ragdoll treatment. Either you say yes or you will hear about it. The same goes for showing up exactly at 8 AM. Health insurance premiums are expensive for individual. Healthy activity tracking rebates turn enjoyable exercise into another chore. Unhealthy vending machines and food everywhere. Exercise center, but after going full-time there was no energy left for that Long commute from most locations. Overall very glad to not be employed here anymore. Health and pay has improved significantly by going elsewhere.
