Pros

Interesting, dynamic work. Value independence and new ideas. Lots of opportunities to move laterally into new positions. Compensation and benefits are fair, but not extraordinary. Small enough for upper management to know you personally, big enough to have lots of opportunities.

Cons

Plenty of racist coworkers, though this isn’t unique to AFL, it isn’t noticed or addressed by management at all. Lack of work/life balance depending on position. Minimal opportunities for upward mobility.

Pros

After meeting AFL at my local college job fair, I put in a general application with their HR department. They called me in for an interview and everything went very well. I had applied to over 30+ companies in the Greenville/ Upstate area and AFL was the only company who gave me a chance and let me gain valuable experience. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone I worked with at AFL. Even though I am no longer an employee, I reach out on a semi monthly basis to check in on a few friends who I left behind. The family aspect is very much present at AFL. The job I was assigned I picked up very quickly and naturally. They did a great job placing me in a role they thought I would do well at. Safety and doing things the correct way was always a high priority in all AFL facilities. Monthly safety talks in the canteen and safety committee meetings are available to all AFL employees. BRAND NEW MACHINERY!! I have never been in a place that has purchased so much brand new machinery. Most manufacturing plants are still trying to use old, outdated machines which are on their last leg. While AFL plants in Duncan, SC had their fair share of "old timer" lines, they have put a substantial amount of money in new equipment and modern machinery.

Cons

After two years in my role, I began to feel burnt out. Some much work and responsibility was placed on me that I felt myself sinking to the bottom and couldn't recover. After a while it felt like nothing I did was good enough and they wanted more more more.
