Not worth it!!

Pros

The only PROS of working for this company is meeting new people. There are a lot of people that work for this company that are working their behinds off to make a dollar or two to survive and there is some that are very interesting! Many cultures of people work for this company.

Cons

This company has MANY CONS! They are a global company that does not keep up with their buildings, machinery, upper management, safety precautions, quality, and soooooo much more! They do NOT treat their employees as equals. This company is only worried about making money and NOT the little man!! It seems that if they can get away with something/anything they will for as long as they can and if it brought to their attention they try to shove it under the rug!!

Doesn't really nurture aspirations.

Pros

Pay was the best I ever had, but I had low standards to begin with, and next to the industry average it was terribly "meh" so I wouldn't really consider it a 'pro'. Personally, I enjoy the pay, but that’s it. It was not enough to keep me actually loyal to or interested in the company. I tried and was assertive for a good while, but the more I looked around at the company the more disheartened I became. If you're in the offices, you're probably ok, but if you're anywhere else and aren't an authority figure you're pretty much treated as a grunt.

Cons

I wanna say a lot about this, but being a current employee it'll put my job at risk, because yes management's had meetings about bad reviews from former employees on other sites, so I don't doubt there will be repercussions for me saying what actually needs to be said here. And to actually say it through their open door policy will be looked at as me having an "attitude" or dismissed like all of it seems to be. Hopefully I can edit this once I'm secure elsewhere. For now though, best I can say is there's a lot of outdated and damaged essential equipment, lotta shady temps that disrespect the facilities, and a lot of employees with poor work ethic. Certain authority figures hide problems from others for their own gain, and overtime is extremely abused.

The work was interesting and the pay was good.
