Pros

Coworkers for the most part are nice, hours are steady, benefits are about as good as they come.

Cons

Upper management is completely disconnected from how things run in manufacturing/assembly. They ignore advice and seem to look for ANY small reason to let go of someone who isn't brand new and earning just above the minimum. They are EXTREMELY tight with their money and will look for any excuse to cut any cost, even if it'll help production. Which means that the machines are older than I am. Many of the software they use expired nearly thirty years ago and they prefer to limp the machines along using cannibalized parts or buying parts from eBay. Also due to their cheapness, the place is routinely understaffed. They often expect a person to do the work of 2-4 people absolutely perfectly. You really have to pace yourself or else you'll be fun till you burnout easily.

Pros

There are no pros to consider

Cons

In my experience, the work environment is negatively critical, and feedback often felt focused on mistakes rather than development. Upper management did not appear to encourage open and honest discussion, making it difficult to raise concerns or share ideas. Compensation seemed below market rates compared to similar roles in the industry. Over time, morale appeared to decline, and many employees became disengaged and less confident in their work. Several talented colleagues left during my time there, and turnover seemed consistently high.
