Pros

Shift work allows for longer weekends. Nice benefits package and reasonable timeoff allocations. Opportunity for advancing education. Opportunity for promotion from within. Internal classes to further a person's abilities, skills, and knowledge. Onsite health clinic and work out facility. Working for a large employer typically gives employees a sense of security.

Cons

Disparity of allocation of bonuses between higher level management and the production line workforce. Offshoring production facilities leads to reduction in stateside employment opportunties. Does not give employees much sense of a longterm employment opportunity, so employees see this company more as a launching point not a career employer.

Pros

Micron offers great careers for people wanting to work for a fortune 500 company in a city where family and community still mean something. Micron cares about its employees and layoffs are something done as an absolute last resort instead of what other companies are doing. Micron is a place where I would recommend my kids working when they grow up and where I would be happy to retire if given the opportunity.

Cons

Micron is slow to adopt change. Working from home is discouraged and the management has poor leadership skills at a department level. For example, since a lot of the management has come up from production, many managers watch the clock for professionals on salary and they treat their people like production line employees. Many of the Managers have also come up from technical positions, so their understanding of business is limited and their leadership skills are mediocre to poor. Micron tends to think that technical expertise is more important than business and/or leadership expertise so there isn't balance in the team skill sets. Once these individuals are promoted to these roles, many of them have an attitude that they are too busy or already know what they need. Many never pursue additional training and classes. Micron still tends to have a manufacturing focused mindset. By this I mean "We will build what is most efficient for us and the customers can buy what we build".
