Pros

Great money, hard to find such a good paying job right out of college. Shift work allows for long 3 & 4 day weekends. Was able to move up considerably in my first 3 years (pay increased 30%!) but feels like I have now plateaued.

Cons

A considerable amount of micro-managing. Only a select number of positions in each processing area (etch, litho, etc) in my department, making it challenging to continue moving up. A lot of promotion opportunities are based on attrition.
