True...they go to special lengths to put the "right" people at the particular stations to do that type of work...
The thing you have to be on-guard for (or against) is the people running the company...
In our area, the "president" of one such company was pulling in $400K/year while the workers were getting something (now don't quote me here) near, or below minimum wage...I'll have to see if I can pull the facts on this...the local "fish-wrap" did a series of stories on the "president" and how she was able to "justify" the unusual discrepancy between what she got paid vs. the workers themselves...it definately sucked to be her.
However...(good part coming up...)
The company is still in business and things did get better for the kids...(they are like kids...their development is of that level) - the company has government contracts and such that there's usually some pretty good work for them to do...and the pay is much, much better too.
And as for the QC? The company runs a pretty tight ship on that...you have to with a government contract...or any contract for that matter...particularly these days!!!
