Pros
Troubleshooting experience gained Benefits and health insurance Co-workers
Cons
-Constantly moved around to different chambers which eliminates the possibility of meaningful progress, and creates confusing workflow -Constant schedule changes, sometimes within a half of a shifts notice. Unable to make personal plans due to the inconsistencies in scheduling. At one point they staggered days off, which meant less experienced techs on the floor in the middle of the week -EXTREME disconnect between pay rate and experience/performance. New technicians coming in making more way more than seasoned technicians with 5/10/15/20 years of experience -Management seemed to care more about the number of chambers getting out the door rather than technicians making quality decisions (i.e. Lead would sign into bay and sign off out of spec results that would cost customer hours of down time to correct when in operation) -Management throws others in front of bus instead of taking accountability -No time allowed for meaningful on the job training due to workload/pace. Constantly told to train new people while they work their own chamber. This often leads to the trainer having to troubleshoot 2 different issues to keep the chamber moving My first day, I was trained by someone who had only been there for 2 weeks. This should paint the picture for you -Every quarter was 'record breaking' and huge profits. What do the workers get? A boxed lunch or cheap pizza at the end of the quarter.....thanks -Asked supervisor for exit interview and for management to be present during it when I put my 2-weeks notice in. Was told no problem, it was very important to them, a requirement, and it would be setup. That was the end of any action taken on the matter. No exit interview was ever setup. I had to personally call HR and do one over the phone. I asked HR if one was setup or being organized and was told no. -Much more, but my advice is to skip employment from this company unless you only want to gain some experience and move on
