Pros

Good pay and bonus, pension

Cons

The worst place ever worked..stems from the initial hire approach. They still havent got their head into the game that its a production faciliry not an extension of universtiy. Once they get that sorted they might get better. Very toxic enviromwnt. Cliques ruin the place.
