Pros

As a “mini” 5 hour a day shifter it’s great. The pay is also great I’ve been at Prent for over 2 years. We frequently have every other Friday off, and never work weekends or holidays.

Cons

You are physically worked very hard for what you are paid for. The atmosphere is like that of being in high school all over again. If you’re not in that certain “click” then you will have a problem with many of the people that you work with, including sometimes your lead. HR refuses to let anybody transfer to different “MODS” and you are pretty much forced to deal with things on your own or look for a different job. Also many of the people that hold positions such as lead or machine operators have no idea how to talk to the inspector/packers in a decent manner.

Pros

Short Commute Good coffee in the break area

Cons

If you want to know what it was like working in the 1980's and 90's this is the perfect place to experience that atmosphere. This is a male-centric business. It is a private company so religion will be a part of meetings no matter how awkward this is for most of the room. This is a good place to start your career if you really really need the experience. This is not a company you want to retire from. There is no 401k and it takes years to become eligible for the "profit sharing" program. The healthcare benefits are so so and there is no support when there are issues with said benefits. Last year the biggest "bonus" was that vision was finally covered. PTO is a joke. Top out PTO takes 20-something years.
