Pros

The pay is very good, the benefit package and PTO are awesome and enticing. Shuttle service.

Cons

You spend most of your day at work. You have to get there 2 hours before your shift to park close to your department or park far and walk a lot. There’s always a problem with the machines and the engineers are useless. Also, make sure to not miss too many days because even if you use your pto or paid family leave AND it’s all approved, you have a a higher chance of being terminated, even if you never had occurrences or write-ups. They will “lay off” employees instead of giving them the option to transfer to a department that’s in dire need of workers and is hiring massively. Management doesn’t care about its employees, you’re just a number. No work-life balance.
