Pros

knowing what to expect every day, sometimes a fun work environment

Cons

The company will never hire anyone on, they promise to hire them but keep them as temps because they know they have an unlimited stream of unemployed people waiting to be a temp for $8 an hour. I was a line leader and i was a temp, in charge of hartz regular employees that made double what i made, yet i was their line leader. the job was supposed to be 90 days till hire but i was there for over a year and i seen no sign of being hired on.. it doesnt matter how good of an employee that you are, you will not get hired on. The management lies to the higher ups about the status of the factory, and they scapegoat everyday temps to cover up their incompetence. there are people there that get paid 70 k a year that do NOTHING while someone who makes 8$ an hour runs the whole floor.

Pros

Strong teamwork and a generally reasonable work-life balance but it can change

Cons

Limited growth. There was noticeable turnover among strong performers, while some ineffective managers remained in their roles, which continued to impact team morale and overall efficiency.
