Pros

Great pay for the lack of work you do. There isn't a difficult job in the entire facility.

Cons

Management is a perfect example of the Peter Principle. Most of them have no idea what they're doing but if you give a suggestion, they punish you for it. Two weeks later, that suggestion you gave them becomes their big bright idea. They also cycle through plant managers every couple years due to it being a launching pad for a bigger, heftier paycheck. They find any way to show how well they can save the company money any way they can. The last one took a few jobs from $20 hr to $11.60. We are all just numbers to them.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
