Business Outlook

Pros

This is a great company to work for, I have been here 3 years everyone I’ve worked with has been exceptionally kind, the supervisors on first shift will work with you on the floor and are willing to help you even in your home life.

Cons

They don’t seem as interested in keeping the employees they have here long term as much as they are trying to fill the place with new bodies.
