Pros

Work balance, not bad salary, good location in SoCal, and good people to work with. The last lay offs got rid of the bad apples and made the lazy people to wake up.

Cons

Too many managers, silos and good hard working people not being recognized properly.

Its only good for money

Pros

Money is solid, can live alone in a studio for the pay, but not much more.

Cons

Having 3 and 4 days off in a row doesn't really square it up when the first day is all recovery from the previous 3-4 days of all work of walking upwards of 28k steps a shift. No policies come from anyone who has ever worked on the production floors. Mid to upper management sit in offices looking at Excel and Tableau sheets and don't understand why 3 people cant do the job of 7 and keep up the KPI. Everyone at the hands on level is drowning and is looking for other jobs. Only about 6 people set policy in the entire building and they wouldn't be caught anywhere NEAR the production floor. Just pass down vague orders that need to be interpreted through 5 levels of people who rewrite it so they have to do even less in a day. This building is speed running what the Amazon warehouse did in Fernley. It will be impossible to have a full shift by 2023, and probably close up in 2025 when the Austin Texas plant opens.

Pros

Great schedule. Only work half the week. Insurance is good. 401k.

Cons

Upper management has no idea what actually happens on the floor but they continue make changes adversely affecting the staff on the floor. No support on nights from HR. When anything is reported you become a target and the company will force you out. FAVORITISM EVERYWHERE- ITS HOW YOU GET PROMOTED. You need to know someone for the most part. Constant turn around of GM's, always a new one that comes in and changes things without caring how it effects the teams. Talk about HPC but don't practice it. Only happy place to work @PENA IS IN THE OFFICES. The actual production/maintenance team is of no importance. Once on the production floor you either matter or you don't. THIS COMPANY JUST HIRES BODIES TO HIT RESET RUN. Constantly short-handed- no one to work. This leads to overworking current employees. That also doesn't matter. Supervisors will yell and degrade shift leads to the point of tears.
