Pros

Easy to get hired and start right away, decent pay for a very easy labor job, work is only 15 days a month with 3 day weekends every other week.

Cons

Hot, you have to wear ear plugs which suck bad , no immediate help if something goes wrong, floor hands are kind of rude with new people not knowing exactly what to do. Very lonely don't expect to talk to anyone for long periods of time. Don't expect anyone to check on you except for once every few hours maybe. Breaks are not scheduled so you have no idea when you can take a break. Supervisors don't really supervise, but really there isn't much to it. The smell of burning plastic is very heavy. Every thing they make is designed to last for as little time as possible and destined for the landfill. They allow substandard parts to still be packed for resell and they are only about the money.

Environment, if you keep up with the machines they’ll either increase the stored or add more machines to you and send a temp home. They don’t close for severe weather

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. All folks are brought in on a temporary to hire basis and have their own supervisors and trainers through an on-site temporary agency. I will forward the information you provided above. Machines can not be sped up or slowed down based on the Inspector/Packer at the job. They run on a predetermined and preset cycle. Again, thank you for the review.
