PTO 401K 6 days of sick time Cafeteria is cheap

You will not be able to actually use your PTO if you are an operator. Only 1 person is allowed to be on vacation if you have 19 or less people in your department. With that rule, you will have to just roll over some of your PTO and the rest you will lose so you might get to take off a few random days throughout the year. We work on average 14 days per month, and get around 22 days PTO. You do the math for (12*14)/22 to see how many people actually get to use their PTO. They will tell you during onboarding that there are ample opportunities to move up. This is not actually true. They recently stopped doing that. You can only get a better position if you get hired on at that position. Outside hires are the only people being hired for higher positions. The reason is that they were losing operators to these better positions because they treat you poorly when you're an operator. Unfortunately the turn over rate negates anyone they clutch onto anyway due to their inability to be kind or respectful. There are multiple men here who have had sexual harassment complaints from women. When management decides to take them seriously, they will move the woman to a different department or an entirely different shift, while the man is allowed to stay where he is. Supervisors will yell at people and make them cry. Their bosses do not care as this helps with their bottom line in their mind. Good people leave and good people stay. There is no reward for being kind. There is no reward for being a good worker. Raises and promotions are entirely dependent upon if your supervisor and their boss like you, or if you have a family member that works in a higher position here. Experience isn't necessary. Whether you have 2 years or 15 years of experience, you will be hired on as an operator 2 at best, unless you're getting hired on for a management position. They will watch you if they think you go to the bathroom more than a few times per day. They will time your bathroom usage. If you are a new mother or anyone with a medical issue, they will say they will accommodate. Then, they will watch you like a hawk. Took 12 minutes to pump milk? You're lazy. Need an extra break to use your insulin? You're being disrespectful to your team and inconsiderate of their time because your tool was ideal for a moment. Someone here had a medical condition where they had a hole in their esophagus and as such needed extra time to take meds, clean their port etc. and management refused to let them do so and in fact harassed them for sitting down when they medically required extra breaks and notified them when hired. People are deeply unhappy here. If you happen to get hired on, you will be taken on a tour of the fab. Look at the people around you as you go through. Look at their eyes and ask yourself if there's anyone with light still behind their eyes. Look at the way the older people move, who have been here for over a decade, and ask yourself if it's worth it to look like that yourself if you choose to stay. They will use up your youth and vigor and then complain when you keel over or go on medical leave to get your hip replaced or get knee surgery because all the cartilage has been worn away like so many stones in a river after an eon.
