Don't Work Here...

Pros

Not a single thing, at all.

Cons

This is the single worst place I have ever worked. While the job responsibilities were okay, the work environment was terrible. Constant issues with coworkers creating unnecessary drama and a poorly managed department made for a hostile work environment. Management and HR do not care if the work environment is hostile or unsafe, which leads the issues to go unresolved. Reporting issues, such as sexual harassment and demeaning treatment by management is pointless because they ignore it. They claim to investigate, but never bother. Management, including top management, from multiple departments spend work hours harassing the female employees and calling associates demeaning names. On top of the poor working conditions, the benefits are absolutely atrocious. No 401(k) match, health insurance that doesn't pay for anything, and bad time off policies. They also tell you that they've had the best year yet, every single year, but then tell you that the plant didn't qualify for bonuses. So, there are no bonuses, ever. And, constant no works make paying the bills difficult. The pay is just okay, but not comparable to other manufacturing jobs in the area. Constantly losing good employees to other, better local plants who value their employees. Also, there is little/no safety training. There's a very short slide show and that's it. There are skids and pallets laying around. People are skipping and hopping around the work area, and chemicals are stored in the same areas where food is consumed. Safety rules are unfairly/unevenly applied, so some people are forced to wear steel toe shoes, while the rule is not enforced for all in-plant employees. I have no idea how this place stays in business. Do not work here.

Pros

Excellent co-workers that are hard working and dependable for the most part. Compassionate senior management within the field. Flexible work schedule for some.

Cons

No flexibility to work schedule for others. Lack of work/life balance - The Company continues to ask employees to take on more and more while they continue to cut more positions and downsize their workforce on an already understaffed workforce. This is common in every facility that I have exposure to which was many. Benefits are far too expensive. Raises of 1% annually do little to motivate a workforce that already has low morale. They recently took away the annual bonus incentive which paid out very minimal if anything, anyway. There is no 401K match. Same story constantly - We have to cut spending, workforce, hours, benefits, etc.... Yet, they want more and more output. Frustrating at all levels except those that are disconnected with operations. The buildings are run down with leaking roofs and restrooms that don't work. Little to no investment to facilities, equipment, systems, upgrades, maintenance, etc... It is a break/fix (for as cheap as possible) mentality.

Pros

Friendly Environment; Little Downtime; Volunteer Programs; Free books (once a year, that I never read)

Cons

Pay Increases are sub-par; Conflicting project priorities (from different sources); I hear they don't treat the LGBT community very well (had a friend that worked there who said this).
