Pros

Weekly paycheck, they hire anyone

Cons

Training is minimal, they tell you how many in each box and that's it, you see a trainer for no more than 5 minutes then they leave you alone until next station. No one really explains the start up board, you never see a boss to ask what happens after training in relation to breaks. 8 hour shifts just started so if you are on second you deal with 4 shifts who all do things differently. I got multiple different answers on if I would be going to a different station at 11 for half hour, at 7pm people leave and no one says do you go to next station or break, it's just very confusing and very few english speaking trainers so you have zero clue on anything. I didn't know what to do when machines started screwing up because I was by myself after 5 min, you cant get ppe out of vending machine so you have to ask someone every single time, they expect you to be as fast as veterans after 5 min even though you have zero experience.

Pros

Direct management (Team Lead and Supervisor) are welcoming and extremely helpful with new hires.

Cons

Plant Manager likes to scream at people for fun I guess? He came through with my tl and supervisor and screamed at them in front of all of us last week.
