Pros

Great Pay and benefits, Outstanding safety training (Kudos Doc!)

Cons

Poor work/life balance, total lack of employee engagement and empowerment, any efforts/suggestions for industry standard process improvements are discourage. Generally, extremely poor "shop floor" employee moral.The only issues causing more concern than the facility's sanitation techniques are upper management's moral and ethical values. Poor follow-through by the maintenance manager to ensure adequate parts, supplies and training are provided, little support from all but one lead, one supervisor, and one assistant chief engineer my 2-year experience there (Kudos Nguyen, John, and Jeff!)

Pros

The compensation is the only good thing about working here. You soon learn that money isn't everything. Some people are nice and helpful but they're quick to shut you down the moment you make an honest mistake. It's awesome having one 10 minute break after a 12 hr. shift. :( This place is great for people who aren't going anywhere in life, are considering suicide, and love choking on flower dust to the point of which you pass out and end up in a pile of moldy bread that's being shipped to the nearest pig farm.

Cons

The factory can get very hot in the summer. Up to 110 degrees!! The management is absolutely clueless and they are very demeaning to their employees. They do not train you and they expect you to know everything the moment you walk in.
