Decent entry level job

Manufacturing technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is better than minimum wage and the benefits are pretty good. The option for overtime was there when I first started working but slowly disappeared. Company seems committed in moving forward.

Cons

Sometime this year First Quality started hiring employees without giving them a mechanics test or requiring them to take the work ready test making it more difficult for previous employees who were expected to babysit and pick up the slack for the newly hired employees. This job is also a 12 hour swing shift which is fairly rough if you have not worked it before.

Decent company, bad training

Electro mechanic technician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Clean environment, promotes from within. Safety culture in place. No tolerance for bad attendance. Everyone seem friendly and they have an open door policy.

Cons

Training is up in the air, they assign EMT's to lines just to watch what others do. Long hours of standing around waiting for the day to be over. If there is a bad storm and the Governor or Mayor declare a state of emergency, they expect you to come in, which contradicts their whole attitude about safety.
