Great Manufacturing Experience and Great People

Pros

The Supervisors and Managers team are fully supportive and willing to help you during your onboarding and ongoing process. No egos when it comes to helping each other, which is great for someone who is new to the industry.

Cons

Manufacturing life is fast paced, and the Ventura Edge is no joke. It is a LOT of work. Tons of information come and go every second, and you know to distill quickly what is pertinent to you and what is not. Chisme is part of the plant, so as long as you do not engage, you will be fine.
