Pros
Relocation package is fairly solid, if they are still offering it. Manassass is a fairly safe city to raise a family in. Opportunity for experience in 300mm fabrication.
Kontras
Working your normal scheduled hours was not "enough", until they cut overtime at which point working more than your scheduled hours was excessive. Promotions are non-existent. I worked there for nearly four years with no promotion or even a raise. Market surveys for pay raises are a joke. Comparing the area around DC with the midwest is hardly a fair comparison for wages and cost of living adjustments. Management seems completely disconnected with the "working class" employees. They only stick their noses in when they feel output isn't strong enough. No recognition on the individual level when a job is well done. Management rarely steps foot on the clean room floor. How can you manage what you don't know? Benefits were stripped away one by one during the downturn, and are slow to return. High turnover rate among technicians who are disgruntled about the lack of pay raises and promotions causing many shifts to be under staffed, increasing the workload on already upset employees. Cafeteria is not subsidized. One meal can easily cost $8.00 or more if you don't bring your lunch, and unless you are on 1st shift they frown on you leaving site to get lunch.
