Worst place I worked

Production associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing at all not a good place

Cons

Everything about this place. Don't work here. Don't know what is going on it's a terrible company. Everyone hired has a connection to eachother be it a relation or neighbour. They let alot of people go after the 6 months after even tiny slip ups. You could be doing everything right and they still won't be happy.
