Pros

Fairly easy place to work. The plant is clean for the most part. The majority of the workers are friendly.

Cons

Not sure where to start on this since there are many. In a nut shell this place is only concerned with making money and they don't care about you, I'm not joking here. They hold mandatory meetings to tell you about how much money the company made and for the awards/money they won for it...good job!...here's a jacket...or cuff links...really?!? How many people work here that where cuff links? Most workers don't bother working hard because there's no incentive for it. You will make the same as the person that's worked there for five or ten years. You will not get a bonus because the ceo doesn't believe in them but has a personal parking spot for his corvette...and if you park in his spot that is not clearly labeled he will fire you on the spot. Had a whole year without having a loss time accident, if you don't know this is extremely rare and a huge accomplishment for a food processing plant...good job!!!...here's a key chain...I kid you not. Had a meeting about Unions a couple of times and they compared them to slavery and said if they ever caught wind of one they would just shut the place down. I wish I was making this up but I've worked there for over five years and the list goes on and on...shows no sign of improving anytime soon...it wasn't always like this and I feel sorry for the people stuck there.

Zero work/life balance. Not much opportunity for growth.

Pros

The company was growing rapidly, but did not share the success with the employees. 50% match on retirement contributions-if you can make it the 5 years it takes to get vested.

Cons

Most ridiculous attendance policy I have ever heard of, low pay, poor management in my department, ZERO work/life balance. President brings in family members and friends who are unqualified for positions instead of promoting experienced and qualified people from within. Raises are the same for everyone in each position no matter how their performance is, you do not get appraisals or raises based on your job performance. If you have a family do not even bother applying unless you have someone available to take care of your children when they are ill and take them to their doctor and dental appointments-this company has a "no-fault" attendance point policy. They have no care or regard for their employees, only their bottom line.
