Pros

The work is simple, and the pay is very slightly higher than most entry-level positions.

Cons

Working here means being in a chaotic, disorganized place with people rushing to complete tasks, as every single person wants to have themselves a break. The supervisors and managers are there only to save themselves and will watch you struggle on a sweltering day with no AC, to yell at you later for not working fast enough or for wasting time. Do not trust the word of anyone here. You will be gravely disappointed.

Pros

Exciting industry and good coworkers.

Cons

No strategic planning from upper management. All that matters to upper management is the number of units shipped each week. Quality is an afterthought, resulting in continued issues with the product. People leaving in droves and not backfilled, putting more work on those that have stayed. Expected to manage an unreasonable amount of projects. Upper management gets promotions but when lower level people leave those responsibilities are put on employees with no compensation. No senior engineers remain resulting in zero mentorship for younger employees. Absolutely no training, professional or career development offered. CEO touts record setting profits but raises are minimal and below inflation. Increased benefit costs passed on to employees while the company takes very little of the cost burden. Payroll and benefits issues common. No paid maternity leave. Management does not care about employee mental health. Absolutely no diversity in the leadership team and very little diversity within the salary workforce.

Pros

going home at the end of the day. There is nothing else good I can say.

Cons

Poor management by some of the most incompetent people I have ever met. The constant lies and finger pointing are what I would expect to see with children, not professionals running a multi million dollar business. Most of the workers that have been there for years are amazed the company is still operating and feel it is only a matter of time before it is run totally into the ground.
