Pros

Not many. Uhm easy work nice people to work beside. Mostly seated positions

Cons

Parking sucks If u don't get here early like for optional 4 15 prepare to walk for days. U gotta walk through the parking lot JUST to get inside and then if you work in the Test n repair dept or goodness trade in ur walkin even more just to get to were you work. The pay aint nothin special either. 13 25 an hour. So this place don't really compete. Im almost better off maybe better off goin and workin at sheets for 12 gees. The management is a little racist and favoritizes i think they cater to the foreign ppl and favorite them. They will say good job etc to them n like nothin to you. Ull see them standin around talkin sometimes probably not about work. Oh yeah it will take a while to be hired on. Anywere from half a year to maybe 1.5year
