Pros

Production management - AKA "Team Leaders" were, for the most part, incredible. Technical and challenging work (mileage will vary *significantly* based on department). Nice location with a spacious parking lot and adequate facilities.

Cons

A downright degrading work environment with middle to executive-level management treating the majority of employees like incompetents. Pay is laughable. Rigidity in scheduling, accommodations, and even the "workspace configuration" (i.e. you might receive a written warning for having your isopropyl alcohol on the left-hand side of your workstation, rather than on the right-hand side of your work station). Trivial infractions (2 minutes late, stepping aside to make a phone call, forgetting to punch out on lunch, etc.) often result in a good ole fashion spanking. The conservative, old fashioned, productivity-driven management style might work for those who require a firm hand, but for the majority of capable folks, it's a bit sadomasochistic.

Pros

Benefits Work life balance You can listen to music or videos while you work Good team building events Good Segway into other departments in the company but it is VERY competitive

Cons

The job itself is not hard but it is monotonous, I can see it being a good first job for someone starting their career. Management is fine but they have a "it will be fine" attitude instead of really taking in the opinions of the people who actually do the work when implementing changes. Your pay will suck and expect a barely 3% raise every year.
