The most backwards place I have ever worked but good money

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good and there is plenty of overtime. You can work as many hours as you want as long as you work at least 58 a week.

Cons

There is mandatory overtime and you are forced to work at least six days a week. Five days a week you have to work 10 1/2 hours and on the sixth day you can usually work 8. Also, we are always out of parts and constantly changing the production schedule. If you care about the company, you will be frustrated.
