Pros
The people I work with are wonderful. I have created some great friendships along the way.
Cons
This company is the worst, most selfish group of people I have ever worked for in my life! If you think that you will have a work/life balance, think again. I currently work 60 hour work weeks, including Saturdays and there is no sign of the hours being moved down. Having only 1 day of a week and working until 6:30 everyday when I was hired for 1st shift is ridiculous. They hire 3 new people at a time and we are lucky if one of them stays or isn't fired. They put an extreme amount of work on one person's shoulders and expect it to be done with no complaints. I have seen several co-workers break down and cry in the middle of their shift because they are so stressed out and cant take anymore. We also work on a piece rate system which means we get paid a certain amount per piece of paper we process per hour. Just when you start making more money than the minimum pay, the company lowers the amount of money you get paid per piece of paper and raises the job minimum. They basically say "Hey, you are going to live here, have absolutely no life outside of work and be expected to process more work and get paid less for it." The health care costs also went up this year. That's just what we need because they were already outrageous to begin with. Its not like I actually have any time to go to the doctor so I guess it really doesn't matter. I literally cant even complete a household chore because I go in early in the morning, get off late, have to cook dinner, and go straight to bed. It is absolutely horrifying the way they treat their employees. I would never recommend this job to anybody! The only reason I have not left this trash of a job is because I cant make $13/hour anywhere else without working in a factory or having some sort of college degree. DO NOT APPLY!
