Pros

Great hours, friendly environment, and amazing benefits. A typical work week is Monday to Thursday with opportunities for overtime. The family who owns the business is so compassionate and truly cares about its workers. The healthcare plan along with the holiday pay/PTO are amazing! I am so happy to have this position.

Cons

If you have never worked in a factory before, it is difficult to understand their computer system.

Pros

Overall a fast paced and active job with lots to learn. Friendly staff willing to help out whenever needed.

Cons

Didn't feel like I got a whole lot of training outside of shipping and receiving department, thus whenever I was asked to do/look for something, it felt like I had to figure it out as I went. Especially when it came to traveling between other buildings on the campus; At times I felt overwhelmed trying to find the correct areas for product. The staff at each building were very helpful to direct me to the correct area, but sometimes it didn't feel like I had enough information to begin with.
