Pros

Decent pay , good benefits

Cons

Horrible management , too many hands in the pot trying to control things . Management leans in the good workers and lets the lazy workers get away with anything. We work 6 days a week and a lot of us are on 12 hour shifts . 1 day off is not enough .

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Not many pros I can think of

Cons

Prepare to work hard for 12 hours on your feet. You get absolutely no help in the department your in. Management does absolutely nothing when you inform them of issues. They are scared to lose employees so they punish no one. None of the machines work. One maintenence per shift who hates his life. Awful supervisors. I was told not to write on my paper notes cause it made supervisor look bad to the plant manager.
