Pros

They pay decent and it's such an unorganized disaster that you can get experience in many areas of plant operations pretty easily. It served it's purpose and was a stepping stone to the next level of my career.

Cons

If you are a type A personality on a career path, proceed with great caution. I've never worked for such a disorganized bunch in my life. Very reactive vs proactive environment. Continuous improvement is a foreign concept. Lacking people who can understand how decisions impact all areas of the business. Once the negative outcomes of these decisions are realized, a "fall guy" will be appointed to be fired over it. They then will promote unqualified people to fill the void, and then will fire them when they are unsuccessful. If you go to OC, have a plan. I was lucky enough to find a new job before my "number was called", I saw others with spouses, kids and mortgages to support who were not as lucky. When I submitted my resignation, not my boss or a single member of upper management even spoke to me! Such an awkward leaving! No "good luck". No "don't let the door hit ya"....nothing... Confirmed I made the correct decision.

Pros

The people, and that's about it. The headline on their hiring ads is not truthful.

Cons

The people, the pay is absolutely horrible, I cannot imagine management's thoughts on why they are stuck with convicts and criminals working for them and wonder why they have problems. Pay more get more, minimum wage is not what you pay someone to operate heavy equipment, little above minimum wage is not what you pay managers. Instead of tee shirts and cookouts and little games to play, PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES.

Pros

Few employees so close relationships with everyone at the plants , room for growth and overtime is 20 hours a week it’s a great learning experience

Cons

Pay starts low, multiple companies spread around the world so it’s hard to get help or the right person at the right time and no maintenance crew if it breaks we fix it so you should be compensated for a maintenance man electrician welder you do it all just don’t get the pay. it’s so few employees that one bad apple can ruin production
