Wages can be fairly abysmal. Make sure your wage is okay from the start, because you can only expect a 20 cent raise every year.
Management loves to threaten write ups if you don't do your job, yet because they refuse to hold 1st shift accountable for anything nobody ends up doing their job.
You will routinely be asked to train new people with zero experience while they make more money than you, because the company will hire some people at higher rates than established employees that have been making the company money for years. Again, make sure your starting wage is decent.
Whenever someone tells a customer that we can ship x amount of parts when in reality it's extremely difficult to make that quantity it's the guys on the floor that suffer, while cell leads and supervisors work one Saturday a month (if that) and reap all the benefits.
Every year they give us less and less of a bonus. They've even got some contrived formula that doesn't take you as an individual into account. Did you work every Saturday, always make rate, and never cause any problems? Good for you.
Some people are required to work nearly every Saturday, while others haven't worked a Saturday in years.
The break room in the satellite building looks like hot garbage.
The bathrooms in the main and satellite buildings look like something out of a documentary about gastrointestinal distress.
A 1st shift cell lead literally sleeps on the job (has been caught by three people) and neglects doing anything productive whatsoever, unless you count playing Candy Crush on your phone as being productive. God help you if you ask him for help or advice, he has such an aggressive attitude towards anyone that interacts with him that I'd even consider him hostile and intimidating.
