Pros

Pay is above average for this area. There is air conditioning and heat but the smell of alcohol and rubber is too much. They have a nurse but you can see her because all the office people stay up in there.

Cons

No leadership or real interaction from the managers. They know our name but dont listen to our needs. They just want to laugh and play and brush us off. Off shifts dont keep the place clean and no one holds them accountable. New people come and go all the time. Cant keep people here. Gets old.

Pros

Growing company. High commitment to the community. New leadership carrying out positive changes and bringing in new talent. Many hard working individuals actually care about getting things done right. Average compensation and benefits.

Cons

Global company with small business mentality. Things aren't done right at many levels with the current management. Some managers are merely seasoned skilled workers who know nothing about managing others. Chaotic from time to time and the blames come down to the people, not to the system ran by the decision makers. Seen too many good workers burning their lives away for tasks that don't matter leaving no room for their professional development. Low satisfaction causes high turnover.
