Pros

You will never go home early unless you want to. The stability of knowing you will get your 40 hours a week as a full time employee is a plus.

Cons

-Loss of valuable employees -Pay is too low -Workload is too high -Expectations from new people is too high -Proper training is scarce at best -New people train new people -No proper planning -No recognition for above and beyond work -Those that do the bare minimum get better recognition -You have to start as a temp -The people that know what they are doing are leaving -Management has no idea how much work actually goes into a job position but still expects more -Mandatory overtime every 3 months -Poor communication from management and between shifts -Nobody is held accountable for there mistakes They will fire you for going to the bathroom even though it’s against OSHA regulations Not much room for growth -Customer is constantly changing there minds last minute even though they are right next door and over see everything and can plan better in advance -Work instructions are useless and unclear in places where they exist and in areas where they need them most they don’t exist. -questionable safety standards since there has been a gas leak for several weeks but employees are expected to continue working -power outages on a regular basis causing electrical issues with equipment -warehouse staff doesn’t know the value of the parts they deliver so they are handled without any amount of care -They will accept anyone that has 2 arms and 2 legs to work even though they may not speak English and there job requires them to be able to read English The list goes on…
