Horrible, terrible

Pros

Wages and benefits were pretty decent.

Cons

Good ol boy club. Non stop "gay" jokes, the few females we're constantly talked about with sexual innuendos, mostly by the higher ups as well as by the "in crowd". It's also very cliquey and only those seem to make advancements. Also, very racist place. Constantly talking down to workers and treating them as a dime a dozen. Firing and intimidation and man hours are how they solve problems. They also ship out unfinished trucks to get returned as "warranty" work so management can meet their deadline goals and get 10-15k Xmas bonuses while workers just get a limp, soft handshake and a ham. (The hams are very good hams..I don't want to demean the hogs sacrificed) .. they hire anyone with a degree and then tell someone how to do their job better while never having done it themselves. (Typical I know). Alledged private hotline to report grievances to but they have phone company trace the numbers that call. Very back stabby place. They offer .50/hr to several people in different departments to spy on co workers.

Pros

Family environment, stability, not too much expected of you, laid back in most respects

Cons

Politics rule. If you're in the right crowd/fraternity and you suck up to the right people you'll advance. Otherwise, look at staying exactly where you are and not getting a raise- even if your job title improves and you work hard.

Worst workplace I've worked at.

Pros

Good benefits. Pay is good for certain positions. You will love most of the people, especially those on the floor but they gossip too much. Great experience, looks great on my resume.

Cons

They will use you to death. No work life balance. A "strict" point system. God forbid it snows or you have a legit emergency. You will be pointed for it. They will write you up for every little thing. Just for documentation that you screwed up in case they want to fire you down the road. Human resources will not help you with concerns anymore. The people in HR that would help aren't there anymore. If you are a temporary associate they simply don't care about you. You're disposable to the company, so understand that. A bunch of stupid policies put in place that only apply to some people. I could go on forever.
