Pros

-Coworkers were great and friendly. -Cafeteria with daily food selections for breakfast + lunch (Only for 1st shift, second shift and later it would be closed sadly) -Free Coffee

Cons

-Pushed for unrealistic quotas. -Annual raises that didn't match the work we had to put in (less than 50 cents). -Management and Engineering would buttheads for how things were done seemingly undiscussed, the blame was then put onto the workers for "Not doing something correctly" or "Not working efficiently/fast enough."
