      This place is a joke.

      Pros

      Getting hired is too easy and getting fired for multiple mistakes seems almost impossible. They host a handful of company events throughout the year. It's eight hour shifts with almost overtime. The facility is located right off of the freeway and next to the RTD.

      Cons

      The pay is below average and benefits are terrible. The place is overstaffed in manufacturing with not enough work to go around. A lot of qualified trainers don't know how to train and can't even do their own work correctly. There's only paid time off and no sick leave. They don't allow taking unpaid time off when there's no work. No prospect of career advancement or cross training. Most of the facility and equipment is outdated. HR is biased and a power abuser.

      Thank you for your honest review. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed in your pay while here. Our lowest paying job is around 10.93/hour, slightly higher than the MN State minimum wage of 9.65 per hour. We use national salary data each year to ensure our positions are graded according to the minimum skills and abilities outlined in each job. We are sorry to hear not everything met your expectations. We wish you the best of luck in your next venture.
