CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Standard 40 hour work week - Pretty flexible schedule, understanding if you need to leave early, leave late, etc - Great benefits such as employee scholar program, highly recommend pursuing a higher degree since you do not need to pay out of pocket - Last week of December you get off as a Holiday shutdown week, plus extra 3 weeks of vacation

Cons

- Tons of red tape regarding decisions being made - Upper managment does not take accountability for mistakes - Too many processes put into place which makes it hard to get anything done fast - When ever there is a issue on the floor, the techs and QA's love to complain instead of using their heads to actually try and solve the problem
