Pros
Pay is okay for the area. Fun environment with interesting people at times. Work is rewarding and 12 hour shifts go quickly if you're applying yourself past what is expected of you.
Cons
Toxic environment- heavy metal toxicity at OSHA limits is expected. Safety takes backseat to everything- the safety culture here is worse than the military. If you don't toe the line to make friends you will not be promoted- promotions are based upon friendship instead of metrics or qualifications. Extremely high turnover rate. HR will divert this during interviews. This is very rarely a career oriented company- most people get used up and kicked out. It seeks half the people have quit or been fired then returned. PTO and point system is tilted towards "we pay above average for the area". Management and office personnel seem to be clueless on realities of getting things done on the floor. If OSHA performed some surprise inspections the plants in my area would be shut down- working safely is okay as long as it does not impact production. I'm certain my OSHA 30 card burst into flames when I started working here.
