Pros

Brilliant business with endless opportunities for career exposure and growth. Also care about their people, and even as a growing business you don't feel like a number

Cons

The fast-paced nature can mean a heavy workload and the scope of your role is changing all the time, and can mean work/life balance can sometimes be effected

Pros

It's a steady job for the short term and the work is easy.

Cons

Here we go. This is the most unprofessional work environment I've seen with some of the most incompetent people I've ever worked with. It's miraculous that this location manages to function at all. There's a very high turnover rate (for a reason) with temp workers coming and leaving so quickly it's hard to keep tabs on who actually works there. Work expectations are unrealistic as they often don't have the equipment needed for their employees to do their job in a timely manner or the material cannot be located because the record keeping is atrocious. Communication between shifts, and within, is nearly non-existent. The upper management asks for input for improvement but nothing ever comes of it. Meetings are a literal waste of time and you'll find yourself slowly going mad as you realize you're going to keep encountering the same issues over and over again because they never get addressed. If you're a yes-man, people pleaser, have low self esteem and need an external source of validation of your worth, and/or don't mind incessantly walking into walls, you might not mind working here (the management will love it too). For others who want their input to be valued, that won't be the case. Perhaps at first, before you've had a chance to form your own opinion, it'll seem benign and 'friendly'. They push an image of 'family' and a culture of 'safety' but it's just a projection by management so they can get their numbers and please their superiors to climb that ladder. Some employees drink on the job, others smoke marijuana and hide out, both situations tolerated by management, while those who actually work well are harassed for not working 'faster'. Supervisors take shortcuts and press others to do the same, putting their employees at risk of injury. It's a paycheck and a good stepping stone to something better. If you have an ounce of pride in the work you do or have good work ethic be prepared for disappointment. You're better off in a healthy environment where your skills will be valued. HR is notorious for miscalculating payroll, when we actually have an HR representative (there was a period lasting months that there was no one). Getting straight answers regarding benefits and other policies is painstakingly difficult if it's even possible. I've seen employees get away with sleeping on pallets, threatening harm to other employees, etc, it's an absolute joke of a place to work. I had to write this review to look at other reviews so I figured I'd give it my 100% ;) Good luck.
