Pros

Some amazing managers and technicians. Work can be challenging. Good benefits.

Cons

Don't let the facepaint fool you, this place is outdated, tools never work, there is hardly anything to do. Diffrent shifts will throw you under the bus without thought. Shift hours are long and you won't be able to change them. HR don't know their behind from elbow and will make your life miserable.

Great people, extremely disorganised upper management

Pros

The technicians and supervisors are some of the best people I have ever worked with.

Cons

Poor/old production facility (don’t be fooled by the new office and break room). Poor pay for the type of work (skilled work, shifts and the requirement of having a car to get to site.) Be prepared to work harder as a large number of technicians have left in the last 6 months.
