Pros

Decent wage, Friendly caring co workers if your lucky enough to find some, free lunches at certain times of the year, free doughnuts and pizza if quota's were achieved.

Cons

Machines constantly break down causing long delays on orders being sent out, wood used to make the doors is subpar at best, management is never satisfied with the work that is put out unless absolutely perfect. Quota levels given were unmanagable and kept ever increasing. No one takes accountability for mistakes always use others as a scapegoat to save their jobs. 5S was more of a priority to management then the safety and well-being of the employees. Management is unwilling to lower quota levels to match the amount of orders coming in, it always has to be the same quota levels no matter what and unwilling to listen to concerns from employees that express them. Got no help at all from my co workers when needed during the busy months.

Pros

The pay is pretty great. Your fellow employees are super diverse and it allows you to learn a lot about people of all cultures and walks of life.

Cons

You will be overworked and under valued. Depending on their relationship, leads and supervisors will absolutely talk about the employees in inappropriate ways. You will be treated with respect to your face unless you advocate for yourself. Ninety-nine percent of the time, there are cliques within leadership and generally they have very unfortunate views on people who were not born in the US regardless of their work ethic. If you excell at your job, you will be recognized and praised some days and scolded other days for not taking on the work of three different people. Some individuals don't actually care about the job and are just there for a paycheck. Safety is regarded as important in theory but not in reality. Quality is deemed as important, but in reality no one cares. Work-life balance is actually non-existent, no matter how much they claim otherwise.
