Pros

Experience with various mhe equipment. Up to date overall system and equipment.

Cons

No emergency days. Too long for attendance points to fall off. Inadequate lunch room and break facilities. No Grace period when clocking in. No reguard for seniority. Coordinators are hand picked secretly disregarding other candidates with more experience . Poor personell managing always forced to work mandatory overtime.Due to the company being a 3po they top out at 16 a hour for a billion dollar company. U can't even get into the hr department without knocking on the door or wait for someone to come out. U might spend your whole lunch trying to talk to someone.

Pros

This location was at an Intel Campus. If you care for the facade and the false pretense environment they try to embellish this might be good for you. Otherwise you are really just an ant at the pyramid.

Cons

Massive hiring of drones who never know what they are going to be doing work wise. They hire for shifts to be filled not the jobs.
