Pros

A little better than average wage, easy to get to, and 90% of the co-workers were super nice people. Leads were very helpful in helping you learn. You do get to learn a lot about the manufacturing process.

Cons

Horrible conditions as you have to stand up all 8 hours, HR is not willing to work with your preferred work/life balance, and excessive pressured overtime during the holidays. I developed health problems and had to leave. Break rooms and bathrooms are also a mess. And with so many employees, coming and going it's like McDonalds.

Pros

You know some jobs where they will literally hire anyone? Yeah, this is one of those places. And it's so bad, that they even need to use temp agencies to hire your coworkers. You'll see a good mix between recovering drug addicts, former gang bangers and other vagrants. I'm pretty sure if they drug tested, half the company would be gone the next day. People will literally get fired, only to be re-hired again despite multiple complaints against them. One temp left on the job an hour in, only to be hired again, and to leave AGAIN, a year later. HR doesn't cross-reference between temp hires and direct hires. If you get fired via the temp agency, just reapply. No one cares. No one cares. A coworker died and no donation collection or notice or announcement was made. No one cares. I made $16 an hour, only to be bumped up 50 cents when I complained they re-hired people who were problematic. They only give 3% raises. Correction, they only say they give raises. They promised raises but never gave them :)

Cons

They promote the wrong people and there is no room to go up. Anyone in a management or lead position will be there for life basically, strapped down due to debt or other money problems. Management makes decisions and ignore advice or complaints given to them. They sit inside offices all day and don't do much. Meetings are always held to "plan" for what to do, but nothing ever gets execute or followed through to the end. It's a shame Larry isn't around to see what really happens at his company but I guess it doesn't matter any more since he sold a part of it off to Circle Graphics now. He cashed out and checked out long ago. Bay Photo Lab is no longer a local company.
