Pros

If you want long hours with a lot of over time, then the 10 hour first shift with every other work Saturday is your best option. If you want the regular 8 hours a day and work every other Saturday, then 2nd (night) shift is what you want. The work is very easy. Many different incentives to stay as an employee, such as; bonuses and free LG devises, very good insurance and benefits. My coworkers and leaders were amazing people to work with and was honestly the main reason I stayed for as long as I did. If I didn't have a good team to work with, I wouldn't have cared about the awesome insurance nor incentives. On-site physical therapist (day shift).

Cons

It's factory work. It's repetitive, boring, mundane and unchallenging. It's what you would expect for any kind of factory work on an assembly line. The pay isn't great. $12 for first shift and $12.50 for second shift. LG4me, your database of info about PTO and income and access to your STARR program (rewards and discounts for employees), which I never managed to get working. HR is probably going to be your biggest headache. If you've never stood up in one place for roughly 9 hours of your day, prepare for your feet to hurt, a lot. It will take around a month to finally get used to it. So, pain reliever and a frozen water bottle to roll your feet on will be you best friends for that first month.

Pros

LG used to be my dream job. 5 years ago, Every good part of LG ended. They preach all day about wellness, work life balance, and investing in their employees. And they used to do just that but not any more. Their 100% paid insurance is literally the only perk and its a trap.

Cons

They take motivated and competent individuals and shackle them with the workload of 5 or 6 people while telling them they aren't good enough, not doing enough, even though they are somehow finding a way to juggle all of the immense workload. PTO is a joke and no one respects it, they will call and ask you to work on your PTO, on weekends and at 10pm. They have no shame. The compensation is entirely below the bar even with 100% paid insurance. Promotions & Raises? Those only go to Koreans. Its gone so far down hill in the last 5 years. The culture in that office is so toxic but the job market is so restricted that you can't leave.
