Pros

Good benefits. It's almost impossible to get fired once you're on full time.

Cons

The workers at the Tualatin plant are almost 100% unhappy with their management. There is no meaningful training or planning involved in anything that is done on a daily basis, yet things are micro-managed. As a new employee you'll be left to figure it out on your own by pestering your more experienced co-workers. Your only chance of promotion out of manufacturing is to either be dispensable or find another company to work for. Once a department likes you, they won't let you advance beyond that area.

Communication between cross-functional teams could be better.
