Pros

There are a handful on people on the production floor that are great to work with. Unfortunately most of the good ones don't stick around long

Cons

They will tell you whatever they think you want to hear during your interview, you will soon find out most of it is BS. They only want yes men. They will fire you just for being honest. Managers, supervisors, and leads turn into vindictive children if you don't tell them what they want to hear. They blame production employees whenever they screw up. Management, Supervisors, and Leads are toxic manipulators especially on 1st shift. If you didn't have mental health issues before you will with in 6 months of working there. Don't expect to use your PTO when you want or need to. They will interrogate you and try to guilt you into doing something extra for them in return.

Pros

Compensation is competitive, though not exceptional. Many of the coworkers are supportive and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Management lacked professionalism and consistency. Communication was often unreliable, with delayed or nonexistent responses to emails and messages. Training sessions were frequently interrupted or started late, and there were no clear process documents or structured onboarding materials in place, which made it difficult to succeed in the role. I also experienced inappropriate and concerning comments during my time there, including remarks about hiring decisions that referenced race. This created an uncomfortable and unprofessional work environment. Overall, the lack of structure, accountability, and professional communication made the role challenging and unsustainable.
