3.0 So-So Job

Machine operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Peak seasons have a lot of overtime. Pay is not too bad for a starting temp at $15.00, 4th shift $17.00 Fast paced during peak. Don't clock out for 2-30 min breaks. Work is not really hard to do or learn. It's something for anyone to do. Hire non-speaking people greatly. Encouraged to apply.

Cons

When not peak, hours are horrible. 4th shift weekends taken for almost a full year. Management can be lazy. Unfair in bonus pay. Unfair in days off with certain shifts. Unfair with hours and time management between shifts
