Pros

Plenty of overtime. Always work. Friendly co-workers.

Cons

Freezing cold in 2nd processing. Supervisors can be to demanding, with no care for their employees. You are just a number. The pay is horrible for what you have to do.

Pros

They offered a pretty decent salary at 45k/year with benefits. Easy job.

Cons

Worked odd hours until 2 in the morning most days. Hourly employees can be a handful often. Frequent lack of attendance from hourly workers causes headaches. Working in the cold plant. Lack of cleanliness in the plant. Job was in the middle of nowhere, 12 miles to get anywhere in civilization. Co-supervisors would steal things. Constant butting of heads with the supply room when trying to get equipment for workers to use. Machines breaking down frequently.

Pros

Working with the same people everyday. Insurance is surprisingly good.

Cons

There is no consistency in disciplinary actions for any policy infractions. The point system is completely broken and there is only 1 personal day that is available in a rolling 6 month time frame. 5 days vacation after a year, with the type of work that is required, is not acceptable. Upper management only cares about the bottom line. Managers frequently micromanage areas and undermine the supervisors that work in them. To cut it short, there are only two things that management cares about. *shipping product and *who needs to be blamed when there's an issue.
