Pros

If your struggling to get experience, it's fairly easy to get in there with a basic qualification. If you can stick it for a year then external opportunities are easier to achieve.

Cons

Poor salary, no shift pattern, no shift premium for day shift, pathetic premium for weekends, plans can change at a moment's notice, terrible canteen very unhealthy, and no food available on nights. Complete idiots in management, would be better suited to parking warden role than manufacturing, no communication from management or between departments, very poor training, decent sports and social but can be inaccessible to shift workers. Contact manufacturer so lay offs are very common. If you have any other options take it, sanmina should be your last resort.

Pros

Pretty much nothing, health care if you're on a permanent contract

Cons

Low pay compared to other companies doing the same job, most people on minimum wage. Contracts say you are to work Monday to Friday 8:30-5, end up doing 7-7 or 8-8 with no shift premium. When on a shift pattern hours can be changed out of nowhere and you can not plan your life outside of the company. High employee turnover, you never know who is doing what job at times. Next to no pay increase on a promotion even though it involves more responsibility and decisions could affect the product and company. Company events like Christmas party or summer BBQ suit the office staff not the floor which makes up the majority of the company.
