Pros

My coworkers were the best. The cafeteria food is good.

Cons

Management is delusional. Managers constantly lie about production capability to their bosses in Korea, then fudge numbers to meet those false expectations, and then proceed to constantly berate, yell at, and treat like garbage their Engineers. Being an Engineer at this nightmare of a plant means living under constant stress from management. You can expect ZERO personal time. I'm not exaggerating. You will literally be expected to remain on-call 24/7 and be guilt tripped for going home to sleep. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. With the work hours we are forced to put in, calculating hourly wage from salary gets you around 14-15 $/hr.
