Machine operator

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked alongside with were very helpful.

Cons

I was hired as a machine operator, on my first day they told i would have to start as an assembler. I was told that I would be on the machine after one week of assembling, a week later they told me it would be a few more weeks before i would be allowed on the machine. Thats when i decided to leave. Plus the area and machine they put me in was not what they showed me when I went to interview.

Pros

There are no pros to this company and/or environment.

Cons

No team environment encouraged. NO loyalty to their employees. Horrible communication and back stabbing. If you "think" you're working hard, be prepared to stop dead in your tracks if you don't cya.
