Pros

The people are amazing, quality is awesome at their job. It's not too dirty. They provide lots of ppe

Cons

Management is a joke. Not all but you'll see the ones who just don't care. If the supervisor doesn't like you watch out. They call you off during the week and mandated during the weekend. One shift is one way and on 3rd it's completely different. Made up rules and not enforced rules on everyone it gets to you seeing all the complacency going on that we say we're against
