Pros

the pay was good,nice work environment

Cons

it was mandatory overtime .They would make you feel like you had no choice but to stay overtime if there was alot of work. Very strict with attendance . You would barely be allowed to call out. God forbid your sick at work, if you leave work early that would count towards your attendance. I loved there because of the money but the overnight was so tiring. also if you stop working to go to the restroom that's another issue.

Pros

The job was amazing at first. Room for advancement. Onsite gym. Large cafeteria and Company Kitchen kiosks. Company holidays. Free lunch during celebrations. Monthly employee recognitions. Healthy Quest program. Nice benefits. Very diverse company. Lockers for our personal belongings. On site security. Cross training available which opens doors for advancement. The managers make sure to communicate with all of the employees about major events.

Cons

Most recently, they’ve started to lay off several of the “higher ups” which as raised some red flags. The company is no longer accepting temps. They’re laying off employees who’ve contributed to the company for 25+ years to help with cutbacks. The starting pay will be low from now on. They are going through a lot of changes involving money and it’s resulting in cutbacks & layoffs. Processors can work up to 3 hours of OT. If you have a family, if you’re a single parent or if you have a social life...you’ll likely spend majority of your time at Quest. This may not be the job for you if you don’t want to be underpaid & work long hours.
