Pros

Back home! I returned to MKS after spending just over seven years at two other companies. The people I work with are great. There is little or no workplace conflict and in general everyone I encounter has a positive attitude. MKS offers better pay and benefits than the other companies I have experience with. Staffing is minimized and the workload is tough, but I feel well-compensated and rewarded for the job I am asked to do.

Cons

Staffing - MKS has eliminated positions in economic downturns and carefully controls headcount additions. The company relies on contractor relationships to perform most facilities maintenance tasks.

Pros

Unfortunately there are no real pros for working at Ophir!

Cons

There are so many cons that I am afraid to start listing them: * Favoritism * Useless HR * Gaslighting * Dysfunctional * Lack of supervision * Haphazard 'training' * Lack of real direction * Extreme lack of morale * Severe lack of diversity * Toxic work environment * Work on good work-life balance. * Protocols blatantly ignored * Program Managers are clueless * Expectations are totally unrealistic * Employees are fired without any warning * Absurdly poor communication and leadership * Backstabbing and finger pointing on a grand scale * Lack of opportunity for growth or advancement * Newly hired management has made it exceedingly toxic * Some employees are immensely angry but afraid to speak out * Idle threats being made by my immediate supervisor toward 'the team' * Long standing feuds between employees that effects work getting done * Extreme lack of communication, everyone is afraid to talk to each other * Employees are completely ignored when ask Upper Management for help * Building needs of a major overhaul especially the elevator that is constantly "Out of Order" or people constantly get stuck in between floors * etc...etc...etc...
