Business Outlook

Pros

You will learn a lot of warehousing and semi-conductor skills within a year. Also good work-life balance.

Cons

No room for growth, very amoral management and treatment of employees, HR is a joke, Arizona's specific locations (both Chandler and Ocotillo) company is a mess, turn around from the lowest paid position to the highest are both high. This place needs serious help.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are NO positive things I can say about this location or it’s senior leadership!

Cons

The STL plant is ran from the Illinois location with no HR, training or safety management on site. The equipment is never serviced regularly and there is no follow up on any aspect of these functions.
