Pros
Easy work. None of the assembly line stations are difficult. Co-workers are nice, not a hostile environment. We'd always get done early and stand around talking for the remaining hours, so you may hate or love that. Nice caf and break rooms. Pretty state of the art tools. Great pay: $17/hr.
Cons
The worst part is never feeling valuable no matter how much you learn and work, it's hardly ever recognized unless you're buddies with the management. Everyone is replaceable and they place no value on loyal, hard-working employees, you'll be laid off the same as the lazy people if their production slows down as it does seasonally. Not a place to grow. You can't move up there unless you get an education. Once, I found a better, faster, more efficient way to do one of the stations and was talked to like some idiot by an engineer trying to explain about safety when he had no experience on the line to know what he was talking about. The line lead and manager both gave me crap after for being innovative, so don't do that I guess. It would be a much better place if they viewed their employees as people and not dispensable objects. They want to seem all about safety, but if it comes down to a line lead looking bad or safety, the safety goes out the window. One day, the manipulator that moves the lift plates broke, and to keep the line moving they wanted to sit the heavy lift plate on the drive propped up at an angle while you work inside the drive in a way that the plate could have dropped down on your arm or hands.
