Pros

Good people to work with. Nice Cafe. Good vacation and sick time amounts. Yearly bonus.

Cons

Lift way more than the 25 lbs they say. Company fights your workers comp case and doesn’t pay out on it. The boss in this department complains every time you ask for any time off. Low pay for handling many different tasks in addition to your own. Boss doesn’t communicate whatsoever and will write you up even if you provide the required Doctors notes. Bathrooms are absolutely filthy and disgusting. HR protects managers only even if they pretend to be there for the employee. Boss goes out of their way to block you from further promotion/advancement within the company.

Pros

No reason to work for MKS anymore after acquisition of Newport Corp. Company recently, for instance, hired a new manager . He is not educated in the field but he likes his position. Another words teacher doesn't know the subject.

Cons

Bad management with very poor technical knowledge.
