If you can stay away from 2 ladies there that are miserable

Production operator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, Pay, offers flex and part time if available

Cons

Clicky, gossipy, some of the older employees complain to train new people and make you feel uncomfortable, awkward, but complain about turnover! They can sit in break room most of the shift or ladies locker room but will be the 1st to call supervisor over anything petty and unnecessary or go to HR ..unfortunately it’s the same 2 ladies that many employees have tried to discuss with HR and management but nothing done

Headcount Issues and Political Agendas, Good Pay/Benefits

Pros

LOL will take care of you so long as you are taking care of them, and giving the senior leaders confidence in their own plans.

Cons

LOL does not focus on hiring and training people to do their job correctly, there is little standardization on how things are to be done and their documentation and maintenance procedures are lacking. The capital project process is a nightmare and the cross functional groups working together is a hellscape of political agendas, sites are constantly being compared to one another, but knowledge sharing is not encouraged. Senior leaders are constantly having spats instead of focusing on improvements and that mindset and agenda trickles down to their reports.
