Pros
Very easy job to learn, a hand full of decent people to work with on all three shifts. Company is good about reimbersing you for work related expenses. Good benefits, but they have been getting stingier every year.
Cons
All upper management and HR staff are condescending and heartless. Supervisors play on favoritism. Supervisors will smell like alcohol, but you will be under the scope for turning them in. They say they promote within - false. They ask you to share your goals in moving up, but then will avoid offering your desired position to you. They have no sympathy or understanding for your personal lives. No tolerance for even a minute tardiness while being located in the middle of busy Fort Collins, in the middle of constant construction. All of the "fun" contests and give aways just turn into a whining session between shifts, and HR ends up rewarding the biggest whiners. You can't find one satisfied employee out of everyone with seniority, they all bad talk the company. Constantly out of supplies, management can't find records so that you can start a process, all machines are ancient and are constantly malfunctioning. The company refuses to replace anything, instead they blame everything on operator error. Expect a lot of right ups and scoldings. When numbers decline, instead of giving examples of how to improve you will literally get yelled at by management. They treat the entire staff of manufacturing like a bunch of kids getting grounded. To boost moral they offer a pizza party.... Ooooo yay. They make 9 million dollars over what was expected in a year and instead of handing out bonuses, they throw all of it in a bank account ... and tell you it will be just in case anything happens to the company.
