Pros

(Reviewed as SMX Temp, from Nov-Jan) Good starting pay, lots of hours during peak. Lots of focus on safety and quality.

Cons

11 hour days during peak, could have had more breaks. 30 minute lunch is quite rushed. Odd shifts, mine was Sun-Thurs. Horrible, repetitive music.

Pros

Good benefits. Very sharp people, cutting edge (with some blood flowing). Excellent hiring bonus. There are excellent "pockets" of staff -- but they tend to be the exception and not the rule.

Cons

Still suffers from high turnover with staff. Lack of significant experience in management result in a lot of pro-forma decisions and little empathy. There is a general feeling that employees are temporary (and will voluntarily or involuntarily move on) once they slip out of the top 40% of performers. Most recruits are straight from University and as a result, tend to be accepting of abuse that is common in grad schools.
