Pros

Plenty of room for advancement in Central Valley of California. Was promoted twice in a year. A lot of different plants to move up in the area. Culture is fantastic. Team Members often throw potlucks and care about the plant. A lot of TMs have been here for 10+ years with many over 20 years.

Cons

Lower end of the pay scale.
