      This place is a joke.

      Pros

      Getting hired is too easy and getting fired for multiple mistakes seems almost impossible. They host a handful of company events throughout the year. It's eight hour shifts with almost overtime. The facility is located right off of the freeway and next to the RTD.

      Cons

      The pay is below average and benefits are terrible. The place is overstaffed in manufacturing with not enough work to go around. A lot of qualified trainers don't know how to train and can't even do their own work correctly. There's only paid time off and no sick leave. They don't allow taking unpaid time off when there's no work. No prospect of career advancement or cross training. Most of the facility and equipment is outdated. HR is biased and a power abuser.

We do the same with our benefits and evaluate frequently to remain competitive. We are sorry you left the company feeling so negatively about your tenure.

      Thank you for your honest review. We are sorry to hear that you feel our communication isn't aligned with your expectations. We do strive to share as much information as we can, when we can. We encourage you to attend all company meetings, leadership roundtables and bring any direct questions about the company or projects directly to your leadership team. We're trying to do much better as an organization with regard to Rewards and Recognition. Hopefully with the new roll out of USL Rewards, which makes it easier for peer to peer as well as team recognition, you will begin to see some changes there. Thank you for your contribution to Upsher-Smith!
