You can't afford to work here

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is nothing good to say about this company

Cons

Went from mandatory overtime to none at all. Cap on raises. No room for advancement. Take away all necessary functions to complete your job. Make things harder on employees rather than easier. Very small gain share "bonuses" while salary employees receive HUGE bonuses. No more than 2 people are allowed vacation on same day despite over 30 employees per departments. Overstaffed and still bringing in new hires

Pros

Fast paced and enjoyable. Work is hard but you leave feeling satisfied. Management is friendly and helpful. Long 3 day weekend off. Opportunity to make up to 5 dollars an extra through LMS, a standard that rates how hard you are working throughout your shift. Incentives for being on time and present every 3 months. Competitive pay with higher wages than some other local companies.

Cons

Long shifts. 12 hour days when most of the time work only lasts 10 of it. Short breaks, 2 10 minute breaks, 1 25 minute break. Point system, takes 3 months to lose a point. No sick days.

Pros

Professionalism and team work from most colleagues; facilities are good in general; health insurance.

Cons

Currently going through major changes. Some people simply have too much work on their shoulders, but management does not seem to care about it. Some departments have good working conditions, other have incredibly noisy work environments (with a type of language not for the faint of heart). Not much room for growth.
