Pros
Days off, it's great to have a 3 day week with 4 days off and 4 days on 3 days off.
Cons
12 hour shifts are tough to get use to, they preach and preach about advancement but it never comes. The shop is extremly hot in the summer be prepared to tough it out you very rarely will get all your breaks

Thank you for your feedback. Any and all information that helps us grow as a company is greatly appreciated. We are very excited about the new certification levels that have been implemented in all areas of our manufacturing departments. This allows our team members to clearly see what they need to accomplish to continue to grow with Next. We also hope that adding some additional resources to our training department in the way of programs and people will also stimulate our team members growth.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience at Charter Next Generation. Every employee owner plays a vital role in shaping our culture, and hearing your perspective reinforces the importance of our shared commitment to excellence.
You work with good people though not all are hard working, most are.
The work schedule is what I like the most.
The job itself isn't too bad, there's days where it's stressful.
Benefits are OK, the pay is DECENT (for operators anyway), you get more with more training.
Quarterly bonuses were good for a while now they're hit or miss, but extra money is acceptable.
Quarterly Company outings are nice depending on what the shift picks.
Cons
There are cliques and it's a boy's club to an extent (depends on the building and shift).
You work 12 hour shifts (not for everyone)
The company pushes surveys really hard to improve worklife but it's mostly to make the company look good.
The company is PE adjacent
The company goes to lengths to "cut costs".
Leadership is only receptive to ideas that work immediately or short term
"Room for growth" is gatekeeped to an extent. You can be motivated to learn/earn more and either get put to the side, put on lines where you can't learn, or training attention is put to people like. You're not always going to be met halfway in that regard. Mind you, it depends on what shift you're on as well and how long you can be persistent.
