Pros

The many breaks they had are awesome, some of the co-workers are friendly. The on-site assignments are challenging and engaging. Parking is vast and entering the facility is no problem as long as you got your badge handy.

Cons

Temp agency I sign up with tend to be rude and unprofessional at time. Supervisor tend to pick favors, lunch lady is not friendly, a lot of the other co-workers doesn't know the meaning of teamwork which means they usually don't help you if you fall behind on work unless it affect them. Work station tend to have lots of issues, either machine tend to breaks down ever few hours, printer not working, loader not loading, forklift worker failed to pick-up ready to ship orders which cause major space shortage in the warehouse area. Also too many hidden assembly instruction that were either not updated in the work instruction or were updated but failed to point out to the co-workers thus causing major product slowdown or rework.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
