Pros

Decent pay Great benefits As many hours as you want Great HR team Not A Serious covid risk facility

Cons

You'll be forced to work longer than 5:30 if anything goes wrong I've seen people leave at 7 sometimes... They can schedule a Friday work day at any point basically. They do not up hold their builder pay standard(cherry pick who they want) Management sucks and they play favoritism They don't mind over working you(to the point where you feel like a slave) They don't train at all, you just have to catch on. Once you get points(even though they drop off every 30 days) it's almost impossible to get them off. No organization. They will make you want to quit or not come in. You'll end up having to do multiple people's jobs and overwork yourself just to get out at decent time. They advance who they want. It's very hard to switch jobs here. Ex. Builder to kitter

Pros

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

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.
