Pros

You get to use your vacation and health benefits as soon as you start. Decent pay for what you do. We have a fancy breakroom - the nicest one I've ever seen.

Cons

Very long hours if you work 2nd shift. They will say that the shcedule is 2-11:30pm for a warehouse lead, but it's more likely 12:30 or later before you will leave the building. Do not expect to see your friends and family during the week. You will also have to work most holidays and they will threaten you with insubordination if you protest having to cover another 12 hr shift on your off day. Asking for another day off to compensate is apparently unreasonable. They are slow to replace anyone you lose from your team. We run short 2 or 3 people most of the time because it takes 2 months to hire someone. They will blame this on the recruiter. They like to spend lots of money on week long kaizens.... Here's a novel idea, how about a kaizen to fix your slow hiring process. I have two bosses that don't see eye to eye and typically communicate poorly. That leaves their entire team stuck in the middle. I thought at first this was a great company, but they are just like all the rest.

Pros

- Good benefits - Easy training - They strive to understand how to get someone to their fullest potential

Cons

- No concrete track for promotion, to the point that it seemed impossible - They will not listen to their workers - Management on-site and higher up are very lazy - They will expect you to do the work that they schedule, even if it is impossible to complete - From the perspective of my role in quality control, it seemed impossible to make management, and also production in general, understand the time it takes for certain procedures and tests to be completed and reviewed. - Our entire site is getting shut down, and they are just now ramping up production to meet quotas and schedules. While, at the same time, keeping our severance estimations as vague as possible. - Low to no incentivization for anything
