Pros

Lots of work to do, understaffed so you won’t be bored

Cons

Long hours, really low wages. Embarrassing trying to hire people that make more than their prospective managers. HR will respond that they are in line with industry but QC and BC pay way better. AIP will be changed if management thinks they might actually have to pay bonuses so don’t get your hopes up.

Pros

Full of hard working and talented people. Company is financially sound & growing at same pace as peers within industry sector.

Cons

Work/life balance does not exist. Very high turnover of direct labor. Pay is well below other companies. Senior executives prefer to increase stock buy back programs, versus invest in people, equipment and plants; which indicates they are only here for the short term and will line their pockets on the backs of the employees.

Pros

Job stabilty Well performing company when customer does well

Cons

Pay for performance claim is a farce since the annual salary review, even for top performers, can't compete with the market trend. New hire base salary starting above current employee mid point only to be competitive with the market value without having demonstrated performance. Very compartmentalized designer structure - PA designer, LNA designer, laminate designer. No role overlap. Limited chance to learn new things after knowing your role. No job function difference between those with no experience and 20 years experience PA designers favored over all others Recognition for hard work is very rare, mostly just mistakes Corporate goals are too agressive, so no bonuses are given
