Pros

They are never late with your paycheck. Company health insurance is quite good. They're always hiring. Company meat sales are nice.

Cons

You will always be overworked due to always being short staffed from employees quitting. Expect long hours even when you're fully staffed due to unneccessary extra projects coming down from corporate. Unrealistic production goals. Upper management is not supportive and is often crippling. Corporate will not listen to area specific concerns and has a one size fits all approach to everything.

Pros

Some of the people are great but few and far between.

Cons

A majority of the managers are unprofessional and do not know how to manage a team. System and processes are antiquated yet they are jumping on the AI bandwagon and contractors have been let go. Benefits aren’t stellar and the pay and PTO have not kept up with industry standards. If considering for employment, beware the interview is as good as it gets.
