Pros

Really good benefits, and ability to buy into stock purchase plan is a great way to build on savings. The compressed work schedule gives a great work-life balance.

Limited opportunities for advancement in manufacturing. Most rotation opportunities are given to those deemed by management as chosen ones for the next level. Pay for technicians and assemblers is very low with even more limited advancement opportunities.
