Does First Solar offer malpractice insurance?
Pros
Got along great with my coworkers. Developed lifelong friendships with people from FS today. Very easy work, if you like pushing a button for 12 hours.
Cons
Insurance premiums kept going up while our yearly compensation was going down. Felt like I never got ahead. Favoritism is very high there. Getting laid off no matter how many years (12) you worked there. Not much work/life balance when you're working the night crew.
Advice to Management
When employees are loyal, show them some appreciation. The employees are your bread and butter. If they are not feeling fulfilled, they will look elsewhere. Also, be more involved. The supervisor I had, played Candy Crush in his computer. He wasn't involved what was going on, on the floor.
