Pros

I quit before I developed cancer.

Cons

I operated the pump room. A room full of highly toxic chemicals. Somewhere around 100+ 50gal drums of misc chemicals ranging from UV top coat to formaldehyde. We had many many job functions and there were only ever 2 men operating during a shift. We really needed at least 3. Our PPE only consisted of safety glasses and gloves. I requested more/better PPE several times and even filled out forms and never recieved anything. I've had chemicals splash into my eyes, melted off my gloves, bare hands in liquids, melted off my shoes in a chemical spill, and destroyed every artical of clothing I'd ever worn to work. I was paid around $12 an hour for what I was dealing with. An absolute joke.

Pros

The CULTURE at this company sets it apart from others. They not only talk the talk but they walk the walk.

Cons

Pay is average and advancement is hard because business is not increasing.

Pros

Direct manager cares and has goals in place to help improve the department. The core team is made up of great people that work well together.

Cons

Seems like the plant director is actively and intentionally making the entire plant worse. Zero accountability for disrespecting hourly workers even when it's brought to management's attention. Supervisors have completely checked out and refuse to provide the help needed for their people to succeed. Nonexistent advancement opportunities unless you go to church with or are friends with certain managers. Cliquey front office and improper use of employee information. Little to no diversity in management roles. There is a single manager that's a POC and he's their most recent hire.
