Pros

They pay decent. And that's about all..... I was shocked how rude an unprofessional management is behind closed doors....

Cons

They assume ownership of all your time, you are now theirs and only when they see fit do you get time off

Easy job.

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy position. If all you want is to come to work, do the same job every day, then go home, this is for you. Paid overtime after 40 hours is nice.

Cons

The company expects 6 days a week. Can be difficult to learn your position as most people are not fluent in English. Opportunities to advance exist, but it takes a long time if you don't know any body in management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn new things, they let you to get involved as much as you want. There are more than 20 plant in the city like a family and you can send an email and always find someone who help you and you use their experience. there is opportunity to go to higher positions, most of the managers started from being a machine operator.

Cons

very low salary, comparing with similar companies. lots of tasks and pressure on each person. lots of people come, learn, and leave and go to other companies with higher salary. not very organized.
