Pros

Other than having had the opportunity to leave...NOTHING!

Cons

Where do I begin? The entire warehouse is full of unprofessionalism. The people in charge..(.and believe me, there seem to be 15 bosses at this place based on how these people treat you..)..are all imbeciles. Zero respect. Zero empathy. Zero reward for your hard work. In the six or so years I've spent here, I've never seen a raise over 30 cents. Some of my coworkers haven't gotten so much as a review! If you go to call out or use vacation time you'll be hounded for it. Understaffed, underpaid, under appreciated. It's an OSHA dream land too. The level of dust and filth is just ad disgusting as the attitudes of the management. I heard there is a dead bird or two in another zone that never got cleaned up. It's just amazing how bad it is. Sickening. The summers were unbearably hot, the winters were unbearably cold...we worked in complete darkness when the power went.. Nobody liked it there. Nobody was happy.

Pros

Made many friends and learned a lot about the auto industry.

Cons

Downside is that this company treats you like a number. No matter how many years you work hard and put in 50-60 hours a week, they can let you go without corrective action to be taken first. I was set up to fail in the position I was put in, and I was not trained...SO how do I grow as an employee in a new position? I cannot read minds.
