Great First Job

Pros

If you are looking for a wide range of experience this company is great. They are very open to internal movement and cross training. There is very little micromanagement and management will defend the decisions made by their underlings. If you are good at your job and are willing to work hard and adapt, your job will be very secure and management will do whatever they have to do to keep you.

Cons

Lack of formal training. Most of the training you receive will be from shadowing other employees and their is no formal training for most positions. Very fast paced and things can change VERY quickly so if you cannot adapt on the fly you probably won't enjoy the job. Being a contract manufacturer the company structure changes as new customers come in and old customers leave so large layoffs followed by mass hirings are fairly common.

Pros

Good people, good culture. Leading edge technology. Facilities are nice and the benefits are decent, although a bit pricey. A true work hard play hard atmosphere.

Cons

Difficult to break into strong "good old boy" network that occupies the top levels of management. Old habits die hard could be the motto here. Change does not come about easily.

Pros

Benefits are decent. Laid back environment. Great place for people who want to work hard and willing to put in the hours.

Cons

Poor pay for what they expect you to do. And expect everyone to work basically every weekend. Not a balanced home and work life. They lay off good people and keep "friends" vs people who work extremely hard or who are more qualified for the position. I worked hard for a promotion, I got lots of promise was it coming. Turned out to be all lies. You need to be in the "click".
