Line crew is great, get above that and the lies begin

Production line operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good, and the hours began great. The line crew is full of good people. Work hard and they will all help share the load and help you out when needed. The line leads are hit-or-miss, but if you get a good one, they are awesome and doing the best they can with what they are given!

Cons

Recruiters offer positions that do not exist and you will not start at the pay they offered. They are just trying to get people in the door to fill empty spots with empty promises. Hours were changed to keep work week a manageable 4-5 days, but now they will make you work 6 days a week and write you up if you somehow cannot make it every day. Also doesn't help that every day you come in to a humid 88+ degrees because they will not turn on the AC.
