Pros

Decent pay, the best benefits package by far (in West Michigan). Lots of overtime.

Cons

Horrible communication between management and production. They could pay more given what they make people do and how much they make.

Pros

Mediocre pay is offset by great benefits. The off shift incentives are numerous and make moving between shifts easy, you could wait years to get on first shift at other companies. If you work hard and put your time in there are opportunities to advance.

Cons

Quarterly bonuses are small unless you get the off shift perfect attendance bonus. You are required to have improvement ideas every year and appropriate feedback isn't consistently given. BMI requirements are a hastle, you must enroll in a wellness program if your BMI is over 30, not entirely bad in itself but you have to remember to turn in monthly activity tracking logs which is a real pain, so even if you are following the rules of the program and exercising you can be hit with the non-conformance fee if you don't turn your tracking logs in.

Pros

This is a safe place to work that will get rid of morons on the floor often pretty easily.

Cons

These guys are owned by a family in Spring Lake named the Verplanks and other secret investors who have no problem making the workers on the floor live in poverty even with lots of seniority. They use the dirty " profit sharing bonus " trick to pay low wages across the board while the higher management reaps all of the profit. During the recession they opened a plant in China to exploit poor Chinese families and do a large layoff. They have a war on smoking that goes as far as firing or not hiring good people. If you like having people smile to your face while they rip you off, this is the place for you.
