Pros

Absolutely none. Well, sometimes you’ll get pizza. *rolls eyes*

Cons

Hot place to work because it’s not air conditioned. Pay sounds great at first, but it isn’t. Not with how much you have to do, put up with, and get berated by management. 10 minute paid break during the colder months, 15 during the hotter months — but not til it reaches about 90 degrees outside. Should be a lot longer because it’s way hotter inside the plant. 30 minute unpaid lunch break (like a lot of work places). Bad management. Supervisors are only good at coming on the line to complain — not to help. Supervisors and above think they’re better than the production teams. HR is a joke. If you work 2nd shift, you’ll either make over-time or get your hours cut — there’s barely an in between. They started making everyone on the lines wear steel/comp toe shoes. Point system for being late or calling out. A whole point if you leave before 8, unless your hours are cut then it’s completely fine. Half a point if you leave after 8, unless your hours are cut, then it’s completely fine. Management doesn’t like to take doctor notes. If you’re out for 3+ days bc of a doctor’s note, you’ll get pointed for the day you “call out” but they may “accept” it for the additional days, but no promises. They hire human’s, but get mad when you act like a human basically. Might as well go and get programmed to be a robot if you want to work at this place.
