Pros

*opportunity to do patent *good growth *factory is nearby so lot of manufacturing experience also is available *supportive HRs *lunch is free *transport is also free *they pay 2k-3k per month if you are coming by your own vehicle but since it is far from city your expense from your own vehicle will come around 5k easy, unless u do carpooling

Cons

*after pandemic, work life balance is ruined *very far from main city *transport facility can be improved , poor bus suspensions will cost u your necks *workload is too much *all opportunity to go abroad is cutoff thanks to top management, earlier it was there I heard, but now the upper echelon people want to take a diff. route *higher management people are set, and they rule and will retire

Pros

120 Hours of PTO per year is nice, *if* you get hired on completely. Working with people of different ethnicity is nice.

Cons

These people LOVE their temp workers and will keep you that way as long as possible. No bonuses, no PTO/Sick time, no benefits. You can be strung along for up up to 3 years before being hired on. Benefits are lackluster at best. Dental especially is a joke. You will NOT get promoted. Lateral movement at best, and if you like stress you can become a team lead/supervisor. Management feels completely disconnected, focused more on their spreadsheets than boots-on-the-ground input from factory workers. Communication between departments and levels of management is almost nonexistent. Yearly bonuses are unfairly weighted to favor upper management with unrealistic expectations for participation. * Overtime/Weekend work not required but an unwritten expectation that WILL negatively impact your reviews and bonus Abysmal raise rates. So many work stoppages due to terrible supplier relationships Major holidays extended, use PTO to fill time or go unpaid. (No help for temps) Things are such a frantic unorganized mess that you can never tell if you are understaffed or overloaded with work volume. Management engagement with employees feels like required lip service more than genuine interest. HR is virtually useless and will defer work back onto the employees Point system for attendance is weighted to pressure employees to be at work even if its dangerous. Staying anonymous because there will be a talking to in the office otherwise. Feeling completely undervalued/replaceable/disrespected.
