Pros

Decent wages and benefits but that'd about it for the factory in Berea KY. Nothing else good about this place at all besides your coworkers

Cons

Although I said wages were decent above, the only way it pays off is because youll.be working 11-12 hour days 6-7 days a week so youll.be getting tons of overtime not too mention that IF you work 6 days straight you are paid double time for Sunday. That's no BS either cause you can ask any employee that works there on the floor and they'll tell you the truth. No air-conditioning out on the floor and it is stifling to say the least. Management does not care about you or your well being, they'll act like they do to pacify you but once they walk away from you they forget your conversation or do the opposite of what they just told you. They say to "Stop Call And Wait" if something goes wrong, if you do they chew your a s s out and threaten your job, alls they care about there are numbers, they'd rather you to keep running even if it's scrap just so they have high production numbers. Overall unless you don't care about any of the above then by all means apply and good luck cause your gonna need it
