Pros

There is a lot of freedom in the Job, with many different area opportunities. One day you'll be working on design work the next you'll be in quality. Great for some all around experience and the company as a whole is quite close knit. The other employees are knowledgeable about the products and processes.

Cons

As a Coop you have to be vocal about when you are done with a task and you must ask for more. Good for independent work but if you aren't motivated then there will be less important things you will have to do.
