Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the people are nice.

Cons

Very poor communication, “training” on manufacturing changes consists of being handed a sheet of paper to sign and being told “here, sign this”. Little to no training on attendance system, where to access employee manual (was never given a physical copy), petty disputes between shifts that could easily be solved by better communication.
