Great Pay. Poor Culture

Production operator

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits are great

Cons

The place is an HR and OSHA nightmare. Constant injuries with no action from leadership beyond finding ways to lay blame on the injured. Constant shouting matches and profanity between employees and leadership. "Hostile work environment" does not begin to cover it. Ineffective HR department. Forced overtime on less than 24 hours notice. Forced repeated 72-85 hour workweeks to cover employees who quit. Very poor training.
