Pros

if your young you might have a chance

Cons

worked for three and a half years. they closed our lab in dunmore an shipped us off to baluster. gave us more money than i made in 40 years in the optical business to find out in six months they layed us off. they said they wanted to take care of us and they did. my buddy i worked with for 30 years has to sell his house now because he could not get another job at his age. by the way we joined the union to and they were hiring months later and never called. thanks again
