Pros
A free Philly Soft Pretzel Factory pretzel on Wednesdays. A member of the click gets you preferential treatment like overtime and refusal to do certain tasks that are asked of you; others are fired! If you are the lazy type, then this is the place for you. You can stand around talking all day with you hands in your pockets and earn a paycheck. You can do this at the expense of the people around you that actually earn their money. Previous CEO was fired just two months ago.
Cons
Nearly 200 employees quit or fired in the past two years, a real automatic revolving door. A five hour (pre-hire) inquisition where you are promised everything to come on board and once hired, they expect you to do the job of three or four people for one salary. Expect to be low-balled when you are offered a job. Machine operators are required (forced with job-loss threats) to run six, seven and ten machines on one shift, which this company states that is an industry standard? Quality Inspectors (3) are responsible for 80 plus machines that run 365 days a year and lights out. They are crammed in a room no larger than my family room (tuna can) in dirty, noisy and filthy conditions. They are also given little to no measuring equipment to do their jobs in a professional manner. The company is a dirty, oily and noise levels are unbearable. It breaks many OSHA, EPA and Local codes such as covering up smoke detectors on the ceilings to keep them from going off when the shop fills with smoke from the machines. As to benefits: Lousy health insurance, minimal vacation, no perks; but a free soft pretzel. If you like abuse, work here. Management will humiliate, lie and humor you as long as they can and when they tire of you, you are gone like myself. Very condescending management. Beware of the Human Resource Department in particular and always heed this, "the truths you think they are telling you...are lies that are left undiscovered." In my thirty year working career, this is "the worst company" I have ever worked for.
