Pros

The schedule is VERY flexible. If you have to run an errand or leave early for an appointment its fine. This is a place where management actually cares about its employees. Recently with the economy going through a rough patch it would have been very easy to layoff people, right before Christmas no less. Instead, upper management took the biggest salary cuts and reduced our salaries by 5% and no one lost their job. I eliminated my personal trainer (a luxury item) to make up the difference in pay. No big deal whatsoever. I have the ability to work from home if necessary. This is a very laid back place to work where if you are talented and get your work done on time you will be successful. People who are self-motivated and hard-working will definitely love this company. You will be rewarded for your hard work. I would say about 90% of management is promoted from within the organization.

Cons

This is not a technology company so any projects you work on are driven by a business need and not a technology need. You will not invent the next "gizmo" here. This is more a place where you take the "gizmos" other people create and implement them in a way that makes sense to the company's business needs. If you are a technophile who has to be involved in the latest and greatest cutting edge projects stay in Silicon Valley.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
