Pros

Good pay, Co workers will feel like a family. But ofcourse that can be due to the same stress and abuse we are all receiving.

Cons

Management consistently will threaten your job to "motivate" you. Even though you are a hourly employee they will continue to give you work to do at home. Higher management is direct samsung employees all they focus is on sales and numbers when our actual job tittle doesn't say anything about it. Don't trust Mosaic HR they tell samsung everything, they much rather keep their contract with samsung then protect employees; so you are eventually targeted and just end up getting fired. They will make it impossible for you to request time off and will not pay your for sick days or personal days if you do not tell them every detail as to why you are sick. They pay is good but not worth the headache and stress. My warning to you don't do it.

Pros

The only benefits are the pay is relatively good, pension, car, healthcare & dental plans.

Cons

Nightmarish place to work. Promises all but delivers nothing. Extremely hierarchical Korean company that wants to be globalised but refuses to make any changes. Internal communications & tools in 'Koreanglish'. Endless pointless reporting, no one wants to make decisions on anything. Local empowerment discouraged, never felt I could be fully responsible for my job - spent much of the time explaining what my job was to senior Korean staff with zero experience. Promotion based on age rather than ability. Staff turnover highest I've ever seen in any company. In the end, made to feel like a robot with no mind of your own. Everyone in my team hated working here and were all looking for new jobs.
