Pros

very few pro's company say's you'll get a review @ 90 days / 6mos / then yearly ... this place is worst at reviewing employees timely . they put my second review off so long they screwed me out of it .. they do have new hr. manager and I expect she will improve thing some , really professional and smart. They have fired several dept. heads recently more need to be let go. I'de keep purchasing manager. and print dept. manager . fire the rest ... RUN AWAY don't waste your time at this company , I bet ! if you could interview ex employees the majority of them would say the best thing about working at dart was leaving the company, including the former plant manager of 30 years .PLANT CITY"S BEST PLACE TO NO LONGER BE WORKING.

Cons

dirty nasty environment , supper hot in summer. they don't tell you when you hire in that you will eventually be put on a twelve hour shift with a twenty min lunch, unable to leave premises , and they only provide vending machine food, many times no condiments available. and when they clean fridge one employee had her insulin tossed out !!!! LOOK this pretty much say's everything about company management ( one lady who spent 25 YEARS at THIS HELLHOLE got a seven cent raise in her 25th year, WHY would they do that? because she maxed out her payscale for that job. my question is this what kind of management team would allow this. If I were that supervisor I would have fought with all of my being to include that 7 cents in the previous review so the company doesn't look like they don't care. she's retiring soon and should have made that increase for her whole last year not just the last few months.) these are the reasons this company is always hiring . they have a permanent help wanted sign out front, that also is a indicator that they are crap to work for . "HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY PLANT CITY"S HELP WANTED SIGN"

Pros

NONE. It's a job until something else comes along.

Cons

Where to begin...Senior management sucks. Don't care one single bit about the employees. Favortism runs rampant. If they like you, you could set the place on fire and still have a job. If they don't like you, you could extinguish a fire and save lives & they'd find a reason to fire you. Attitudes and morale at the lowest I've ever seen. No one wants to help anybody. They cram safety meetings down our throats to please the corporate gods, but then they let us run machines that leak oil, pipes that leak water (around electrical boxes) and say, "oh, we'll take care of that at the next shutdown. Extra help for every other job position except production. Production runs on a skeletal crew. Yet when numbers are reached, it's due to all these other departments, not production. Maintenance is a joke. 24/7 plant, ALL maintenance is tucked into their little beddies by 8pm. Need to call one in? Kind of hard to do when company phones are left at the plant. Excuses for maintenance, daily. Production can't get a break. Back to wonderful (gag) senior management. All management gone by 3:00pm on a Friday. Poor ethic values. Sneak behind middle management's back to get what they want. employees just viewed videos by the Dart family about their "Core Values", honesty, integrity...etc. I thought the employees were going to vomit. What hypocracy. Wages the lowest in the area. Temp services send their good people to other manufacturing plants because they pay better. we get the ones on drugs, on probation, or facing criminal charges.

Pros

Pay is ok and promotions are available for those willing to wait on their supervisors' hands and feet as they sleep in their comfy office.

Cons

Tolerated Racism. No teamwork. When all else fails blame or fire QC "responsible" for defective product. Seen many instances where the company has fired employees weeks before retirement. Shady history and no management.
