Pros

There is plenty of work, usually due to being highly unorganized and dysfunctional but hourly employees do enjoy the OT. A lot of departments do a temp-to-hire, so people can gain experience which is good.

Cons

Management is highly dysfunctional Senior management picks and chooses only buddies of theirs to move up, so a regular person can only go so far Pay is based when you come in, so if you dont come in high, you’ll never get a fair shake, Pay is near the bottom of the industry standards, compare it for yourself, everything is up to the manager’s discretion so oftentimes that means, the manager is getting a lofty bonus. If you are fluent in German, pump that up here, you will go places, regardless of talent, skills or experience. For newer employees, hiring can take forever, we’ve had temps for 1-2 years sometimes just because of “delays”, just don’t let this be your best option.

Pros

Ok starting pay. Safety focused. Hard to get fired from.

Cons

At the time of hiring I was given incorrect information on when when benefits start, I was told immediately but it 60 days plus. Also, when i was being onboarded, They asked me if I would work in a department that was failing and offered me additional compensation. I was lead to believe it was in the offer I signed, but 4 months later I discovered I never got it. When I asked about it I was told they found out they actually weren't allowed to make that off and I would be getting nothing. When ask why they didn't tell me when they found out the told me they guessed it slipped through the cracks. Today, I was cornered by two survivors who berated me about and issue in inventory control. A department I do not work in. All my grievances have been report to my supervisor but no change has been made
