Good pay, but HR and Management issues persist

Machine operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work is easy and your teammates are generally helpful. The pay is good. They are involved in the community.

Cons

Some of HR don't know what they are doing and most of them are two faced and try to get you fired. There are a lot of lazy people and Management expects the harder working people to do their job as well. Benefits are not so good anymore. There is a lot of favoritism to friends from management and some from HR. It's getting worse as the years go by.
