Not for family

Pros

Pay is decent with overtime, barely watched or checked on by anyone during the shift so there is a lot of independence unless you need help with something.

Cons

They are not for family. Forced overtime a lot. Work almost every single weekend from the months of October-April. Never recognized for hard work. There is also major favoritism within management (they have very poor management) that doesn’t care about the work and others. No advancement opportunities. Management only hires friends of theirs that they’ve worked with in other areas inside the plant in the past. They also treat new hires and temporary employees so bad and like they are all stupid. They want to get rid of them as soon as they start without giving people a chance. There is so much hate. If you’re a women they don’t accommodate anything for pregnancy but give you the only option to take disability leave.

Pros

Good benefits. Not as good as they used to be but better than average. Pay is decent but once again not great. CEO sometimes gives random extra days off that you have to work with your manager to use.

Cons

Prepare to have no life in busy season. Mid-management power trips are a common occurrence. Constant hiring freezes. Seemingly random decision on which teams come into the office 3 times a week. Departments can be kind of cliquey with unnecessary drama.
