Pros

The medical benefits are decent and they have a 401k.

Cons

Minimum wage job, miserable working conditions with temps in the plant being over 100 degrees in the summer, you get two days of vacation for the YEAR. When you complete five years of work you get five days. The management team is terrible, they hate the employees and each other. It's dangerous work, people have lost body parts working there.

Unethical plant management

Production associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of overtime if you want it. Great production coworkers and hourly level production leaders.

Cons

Upper management consistently and constantly are unethical. Favoritism, underhandedness, and will flat out will lie to your face. Sexual and racial discrimination, verbal and physical intimidation, and poor treatment of hourly coworkers have driven the morale to nothing.
