Pros

Been around for 100 years; relatively stable through 2020. Great opportunity for OTJ training in medical device manufacturing. Cool to see and try out different processes. Occasional holiday lunches. Sometimes end of year bonus. Possibly annual raises company-wide; had a couple 3 percent raises.

Cons

Entry level pay is, well, entry level; not enough for a family anyway. Production areas are sweaty hot in summer and cool in winter. Maintenance is a joke at SLC facility. Wait until stuff breaks then fix it or replace it. Seems like there's usually a leak or light out in the restrooms that takes weeks to get fixed. Advancement within production is very limited.
