Pros

Good pay due to the number of hours you work.

Cons

Very few resources to get things fixed. Everything is rushed. High turnover rate due to awful management. No path for advancement. The plant is shutting down so they don't care about personnel. But on the other hand, the union is an issue as well. Safety is in name and paperwork only. It is not practiced. You are forced into unsafe situations and practices. The line must get running no matter the cost.

Pros

Great pay. Good amount of PTO. Benefits could be better.

Cons

Dallas site will be shutdown soon. Information to verify this is online. Neighborhood surrounding the site protested and won. Dirty, unhealthy environment. It’s simply not worth applying with the company only going to be there a couple more years. Culture of finger pointing, causing a high turnover rate.
