Avantages
401k is pretty good but not great. Vacation time is good, but being told when you can use it kind of ruins the charm.
Inconvénients
The raises are crap. Period. Anyone can look at the numbers and see that 2%/yr isn't a raise, but a step backwards. This is the root of why people are leaving. So, you've created a system where watchmakers with decades of experience have to lay out the parts for a movement on a diagram of a movement that they have done literally thousands of times, and expect it to raise productivity? How does that extra ten minutes raise productivity or quality? If the raises were repaired, we would be willing to put up with the sillyness. Tool layouts- we work faster and better with what works for us. It's that simple.
