Pros

Lots of overtime, good shop (big work table, electric hydraulic press, drill press, lathe, large bandsaw, welding machines, all the parts needed to complete the job most of the time), lots of learning opportunities, relaxed supervision, relaxed attendance policy

Cons

Spanish speaking is strongly encouraged, very hostile attitudes amongst leads, supervisors, maintenance, most floor employees, pay is on the lower end, poorly ventilated facility gets very VERY hot and muggy in texas summers, equipment is old and has suffered years of abuse, running on legacy hardware (ie mercury switches, windows 95 based operating systems, lots of things "outdated")

Pros

Decent pay , good benefits

Cons

Horrible management , too many hands in the pot trying to control things . Management leans in the good workers and lets the lazy workers get away with anything. We work 6 days a week and a lot of us are on 12 hour shifts . 1 day off is not enough .
