Great pay, poor environment.

Pros

The pay is pretty great. Your fellow employees are super diverse and it allows you to learn a lot about people of all cultures and walks of life.

Cons

You will be overworked and under valued. Depending on their relationship, leads and supervisors will absolutely talk about the employees in inappropriate ways. You will be treated with respect to your face unless you advocate for yourself. Ninety-nine percent of the time, there are cliques within leadership and generally they have very unfortunate views on people who were not born in the US regardless of their work ethic. If you excell at your job, you will be recognized and praised some days and scolded other days for not taking on the work of three different people. Some individuals don't actually care about the job and are just there for a paycheck. Safety is regarded as important in theory but not in reality. Quality is deemed as important, but in reality no one cares. Work-life balance is actually non-existent, no matter how much they claim otherwise.

Very Rude Supervision!

Pros

Good pay with good sign on bonus

Cons

If the Supervisors dont like you or any of your family, they will not hire you! All I wanted to do was work and make money but because they didn't like some family members that I don't even associate myself with, I wasnt qualified for the job they say! They knew when they seen who I was that they wasn't going to give me the job but jokes on them ha ha. I dont wanna work for that hot azz place with rude people that think they are so much better than everyone and they're nothing but drunks/drug addicts outside work!
