- It's a who you know not what you do type environment... - First month in this department the ENTIRE team quit except for myself and two others. 6 in total. Should have been a here is your sign moment... - They will ask you to resubmit your request after you have already been waiting months and received an initial confirmation. - Pay was a constant issue working 3rd shift. I was placed on two-week vacation when I started in this department so I did not lose my vacation time. I had two weeks left and did not want to take it being so new to the team. I was willing to sacrifice this for the new position. I WAS NOT PAID and the SOLUTION was to work 80 HOURS OT OVER THE NEXT MONTH TO GET MY MONEY THAT I WAS ALREADY OWED. SO I WORKED 6-7 DAYS A WEEK TO GET MY PAY FOR THE NEXT MONTH. - If you took a Friday off working third shift you would be short for the previous and current week. REGARDLESS if you STILL WORKED 5 DAYS THAT WEEK. Solution - Work an extra hour each day next week to make sure you are correctly PAID for that week. No this was not OT. - Several requests were just lost. We were so short-staffed all the time I could understand "losing" request as well I guess. - I was clear about the third shift when I was interviewed and placed a REQUEST for 2nd shift. While off work for my scheduled weekend a new hire was given second shift and we were told that's not a decision based on seniority " Almost everything is when it's convenient in this department including parking " Then why make a deal about request and seniority too begin with? - Your "ideas" and "suggestions" that better the team and department will be stolen and no proper credit will be given. They will "forget" you submitted it. I kept folders * - If your close friends with leadership then your life will be grand. - If you do not brown-nose keep that resume handy! - Management is a do what we say not what we do type team. - They like to enact policies then only enforce them when its convenient or beneficial to them or their "favorites" My termination was even dirtier then above mentioned things. Ive waited 3 months to post this to see if I was still mad. Sadly I am but I've got great things going personally! This has just been a bump in the road... but one I needed to address.

401k is capped at 500 per year. Only one health insurance plan is offered in Florida. You are treated as more of a "servant" to production workers. No training, if you are frequently left on your own to figure everything out.
