Pros

Pretty new here, so I will rate it off what I have seen, no HR does not tell you to leave reviews. When I first interviewed it was about 4 people in a span of 2-3 hours one on one. Which I liked makes you less nervous doing one on one then panel. Accepting the job I had the same concerns reading these reviews. I can say I haven’t experience anything but a good work place some of the kindest people who work here, very friendly staff and willing to help. So please when applying don’t take some of these negatives reviews to heart I did at first and I saw nothing of the sort here. Growing company with bright future that you want to be apart of. Really good pay and work life balance is perfect so far.

Cons

I haven not had any comments yet.

Pros

- A friendly and welcoming work environment, in the social sense. I would say that while the initial "friendliness" of team leads/trainers can vary, ultimately with hard work and perseverance, you're likely to get along well with your coworkers and managers. - Management is/was personable and patient, despite the fast-paced, sometimes monotonous work. Moreover, in a purely kinesthetic sense, this job is perfect for improving attention to detail, as well as hand/eye coordination. - A very clean, comfortable work environment, where safety is of the highest priority.

Cons

- The fast-paced, jam-packed scheduling of work orders can be overwhelming. I realize that quotas must be met, but I feel that the demand for quantity ultimately compromises quality. Honing in on that fine "limit" where neither one cancels the other out is no easy feat, but I feel that half the times the demands were too great to ensure the consistency of properly assembled work. - Mediocre pay. I realize you cannot be unrealistic about paying more than $11-12/hour for non-specialized/low-tech skill work. However, because of the tedium of this type of fast-paced, hands-on assembly, higher wage compensation is likely the one huge thing necessary to keep reliable workers. - It's a job which I feel stays just that... a job. Beginning an actual career that will evolve over time is unlikely here, unless you're in upper management. I think it's a fine place to work if you're essentially biding your time. But to be honest, I don't think that the blue-collar positions here amount to much more than corporate peasantry, ultimately.

Pros

NONE. People are backstabbing, corporate climbers, looking for their own interests. Management promotes people who don’t speak their mind and just drink the koolaid. No independent thinkers at higher levels. You’re not hired for that. You hired to be a cheerleader. God help you if you use your brain and if you’re truly ethical.

Cons

No job security, and leadership maintains a fake culture.
