Pros

This company pays a fair wage and has excellent benefits. No complaints about that at all.

Cons

Too linked to the volatile semi-conductor industry. Also, managers stay in the same positions for way too long. As a result it seems like during a downturn they lay off the people who were following the managers' lead thus retaining the same stale, and in my experience, extremely antiquated management decision making style.

Pros

A friendly work environment with a stable privately held company that offers good wages and benefits. They promote mostly based on seniority. Overtime is readily available and pays time and a half.

Cons

The plant operates 24/7, only closing for a couple of days at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Each of the four shifts is 12 hours long. In order to be promoted into most positions, you have to be willing to work the night shift.
