Business Outlook

Pros

salaries are comparable to above industry average

Cons

1. there is no quality of life unless you work a 1st shift. you go in one time and leave the following morning,,be careful if you leave far away from the plant. 2. Super high turnover with mgmt and supervisory staff. If you know your worth its gauranteed you will leave within a year. 3. lack of proactive organization yet they choose the reactive wait till there is a fire then put it out method. 4. Payroll Issues--take your chance!!! 5. too many foreign employees who dont understand their rights..just happy to have a job.

Pros

401k ,you stay cool in the summer time

Cons

we have no union. they say the care about us and want up to be productive but it does not show. we can bring up things that are wrong in the plant and nothing gets done to fix them until someone gets hurt. no bonus what so ever for hourly employees. Did not even get anything for Christmas.
