Pros

Compressed work week, 12-hour days is a plus to increase your wages by 13% over the base salary. Benefits and quarterly bonuses are also included.

Great place to work outside the factory. Free beverages and fruit are provided.

Cons

If you are a tool engineer in the factory, it is a 24/7 hour job. If you are a maintenance technician, you will spend all your time in the factory doing PMs. Since they don't staff enough per shift, only the manufacturing techs who run the product are present.

Advice to Management

Listen to your people, especially new grads. The ideal way things should work doesn't work in real life. Experienced technicians can guide you from recreating the wheel with your experiments. Remember, they are the experts, although they don't have PhDs.
