Pros

There are no good reasons to work for this company. The benefits used to help compensate for the terrible work environment but the new changes have shown how little the company cares about it's employees.

Cons

Poor management. Safety is not a concern. Fork trucks are often used to move product several hundred pounds greater than the recommended maximum. There are procedures for everything, yet you are trained that you must do it differently or you will not meet your quota, the catch 10 however is that if caught, the person(s) that instructed you to do it in such a way will deny it and put your job on the line. No job security, your job is always on the line. 6 point system Less than 30 minutes late is 1/2 point, more than 30 minutes late is 1 point. Only F.M.L.A. pre approved events are a valid excuse. If you get deathly ill and are in the hospital for 6 days, you have just earned 6 points and lost your job. Quality seems to also not be a concern as product is sold as being e-coated (a form of primer) yet even if that process fails the product is painted and sold without it. Expressing concerns about anything is frowned upon.
