Pros

Pay is competitive compared to others

Cons

This company is an absolute cess pool of OSHA violations, employee rights violations and labor law violations. I worked here for over five years and was subjected to more situations than I can even count that violate every one of these things. If you speak out on OSHA violations, management will retaliate against you and build a case to fire you. I was literally told by my lead to perform preventative maintenance in Semiconductor tool chambers, which are highly toxic without proper respirators and PPE. Not only is this illegal on numerous levels, but it will also impact my health in the future. Anyone who has any experience in the Semiconductor industry as an Equipment technician will know this. This company preys on people who have zero experience in the industry, because they know that they won't know enough about OSHA laws pertaining to their job to hold the company accountable. This company is literally killing its own employees for profits. They have not only had numerous deaths on site, but they are also in the midst of countless class action lawsuits due to unsafe work practices, as well as discrimination. They will hire anyone with no experience because it's easier to convince them to perform duties and jobs that violate the law.
