Pros

Good starting pay, good bosses, easy work, love my job worked here 4 plus years did many different jobs.

Cons

Lies start in orientation with them saying no layoffs ever but later on you find out the call it restructuring. Its kind of a inside joke on the factory floor. People got laid off and never rehired, restructuring, layoff what ever. There pay raises are a joke they used to be set up to benefit new hires. When they did the last cost of living raises by giving them over a dollar and there employees with seniority half as much. They recently gave 2nd shift a two dollar raise, day shifters only 75 cents if they were there for 2 plus years and 3rd shift got the shaft. They claim teamwork but build animosity between shifts with moves like this. They also have a nice poster every were in the factory about peer recognition that reads don't be a statistic employees that are recognized are more motivated and productive. Then they send out a letter with the raises to first and second shift that reads something like we are excited to announce raises for are very vital shifts first and seconds but nothing for 3rds so I guess we are the statistic, very motivating thanks for that. So now I come in happy and leave angry with all the negative talk going on around me that never existed before.

Pros

The people at True are very nice and welcoming. The company subsidizes lunch which is great.

Cons

The company is run in a very traditional, old fashioned, and stuffy manner. The company is also very flat and there are not many opportunities for advancement or mobility.

Thank you for your review. We are happy that you recognize the friendly and welcoming team members that we have at True. Thank you also for recognizing our top notch Café and Cafeteria. This is a great perk of working at True as team members can enjoy a great meal, snack or coffee at very affordable subsidized prices. True has been an extremely successful company since 1945 and prides itself on being an organization where all employees can make a difference no matter what position or title. We offer many growth opportunities as all open positions are advertised company wide on a weekly basis and we love to grow our team members. HR and Upper Management is constantly reviewing employees needs and working to meet them.

Pros

Good benefits, and good job security

Cons

Often is monotonous busy work, and gets boring after a while. Not much you can do about that in a manufacturing environment, though.
