Pros

Awesome benefits package available after 6mos of employment. Competitive raises at .40 a year uncapped. Ability to switch and choose between 1st, 2nd or third shift (allowing for a year in between and availability) Open door policy (if you need to talk to someone management and HR are there for you) Opportunity to grow within the company (remember others are applying for jobs as well so you may not get the job you want but please keep trying)

Cons

They are very picky about who they hire it seems but lately choose unreliable people and walkouts continue to happen. We still get awesome people who join the workforce eventually! You cannot work with family members or spouses under the same boss. It does get hot in the summer but we are provided free Gatorade and fans. With the addition of solar power we can rest assured we will always have lighting and fans no matter what happens the the power grid in our area.

Thank you for your review and positive recommendation and outlook. We appreciate your recognition of the stability that True has provided to team members for over 70 years. Part of what makes True successful is the structured work environment that holds all team members accountable to high standards. We have successfully been voted "Best in Class" for the last 15 years. Without process, rules and regulations none of this would be possible and this carries through in all the work that we do. Thank you again for the review. We wish you all the best in your transition from Co-Op to Full-Time Employment.
