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

Steady pay, hours, insurance,benefits. Good people, somewhat laid back, just willing to work. Good experience, no major issues with the place

Cons

Need to pay your line grunts more, insurance keep going up, yet coverage goes down. Hard work short breaks. Have to be one of the "cool kids" to get anywhere, willing to throw someone under the bus if need be.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to recognize the positives of working at True as well as feedback on things that you feel need improvement. True is proud of our rich history of providing stable and steady work with great benefits to many people since 1945. We are constantly reviewing pay and benefits and making adjustments where needed. Also, all incentivized positions are announced so that team members have equal opportunity to apply. Panel interviews are conducted which include representation from multiple groups so that there is more than one person making the decision for advancement. This ensures that favoritism does not become an issue. Once again we appreciate you taking time to review True and we wish you luck in all that you do in the future.

Pros

Job is stable. The benefits are really great. There are many many perks the longer you are employed there. I highly recommend this company.

Cons

There is a very high volume of work. If you can't meet the expectations of the work after 2-3 weeks they will terminate your employment
