Good place to work

Assembler i

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has always been a fine place to work. I worked nights and it is very laidback, ease of movement from departments. The company has recently hired more supervisors and changed some of its processes. OT is only available sometimes but overall its simple work for decent pay. But compared to its competitors it is lacking on that front.

Cons

Repetitive movements that cause pain in the arm and wrists. All depends on the department you are placed in.

High School Repeated

Assembler/wire guides production

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The actual work itself is simple and redundant. Everything is on the same schedule and pace just like a factory, so there is little to no surprises.

Cons

The place is a continuation of high school with constant gossip, inappropriate discussions, and a lack of leadership. Upper Management has unrealistic demands to meet goals, and drops most of the load on the floor workers. Because Cook is bleeding (and has been for a while), instead of cutting back, they decided to submit even more orders, expecting the employees to increase their numbers, while simultaneously getting paid the same lousy wages. In addition, the mandatory overtime was initially awarded with weekly bonuses, equating to $450 to $600 guaranteed a month. Then they gave everyone a dollar raise and immediately ended the bonus program, hoping that no one would notice. Overall, the company has great people who work hard, and then an old boys club that sit atop the pyramid, watching their cash cow become infected with the incurable disease of greed and poor management.

Pros

Money I guess. But they don't pay you much of that either.

Cons

Lack of accountability for management, constant neglect of training, harassment glossed over, chronic underperformance over looked, little opportunity for lateral movement
