Pros

I don't have anything nice to say at this time.

Cons

As a new person people were not accepting. There's an attitude of "we've always done it this way" where people don't want to hear new ideas or ways to do things. The silly company policies and the transphobia of being misgendered every day even though people know my pronouns. You end up working in a silo trying to find who will help you or not. Most of the time it was not. People do not seem concerned with helping a coworker. My manager never tried to learn what I did and was out of touch with the technology. After I left, the help desk completely wiped my phone and ipad in which I lost everything. (they are not suppose to do this).

Pros

Cost of living & shift differential push you a little higher on the pay scale If you need money but no life, you can work all the overtime you want.

Cons

Working Conditions are toxic and unsustainable. Vermin of all sorts. Unregulated health and safety standards. Profit over maintenance and safety. Lack of communication between every level of leadership with each other and production. No training standards | No real incentive to train. Turnover amounts to a new production workforce every other month. Work schedule 12 to 19 days on then 1 to 2 days off depending on your shift. Talent is leaving and experience is retiring.

Pros

The people are really nice and the job is simple

Cons

Hours- we started off working 8 hrs 6-7 days a week, they eventually switched to 12 hrs every 2-3 days When they switched hours they eliminated all the overtime pay which is how most of your money was made. Workload- they give you so much work to do and not enough time to get it done. Safety- The equipment they have is a safety hazard and they refuse to fix it. You have to wear a hardhat, earplugs, safety goggles, steel toe boots, and gloves. You also have to use a lift to pick up the wheels, but that causes more pain than just picking up the wheels. Employees- I know plenty of employees that have had to take out loans and have to downgrade their life due to the new schedule and cost cuts. I am currently sitting with an active employee at a food bank right now.
