Terrible place

Pros

Great people in entry level.

Cons

Under informed about hazardous chemicals in use, improper ppe, no communication whatsoever. No praise for a good job but plenty of reprimands for a mix up. Time off can be like pulling teeth. Quarterly meetings are useless unless we want to know how many billions the company made and how much of that we will never see as we are very under paid. Cashiers make more than us and we work with hazardous chemicals? Really?!

Pros

The company culture stresses integrity, innovation, intensity and involvement. The Practical Process Improvement program for eliminating waste is a pretty good methodology.

Cons

There was not enough consideration extended to the talents of night shift personnel. Management did not let decision making processes flow beyond their tightly held realm. They need to be more open-minded to change.
