Pros

Some great people, but the bad ones really make it bad on you. If you have a problem, HR doesn't help, they just tell you to deal with it.

Cons

The hours were long and they expect longer ones. The pay was horrible. I absolutely despised going to work after being there about a year. I am so glad to be gone.

Pros

Great outlook, good pay, great people

Cons

17 hour, industry standard would be at least 3 plus dollars more an hour. With time I believe pay will get better when they become bigger.

Pros

Very big place with a lot going on. Free snacks, cereal and drinks and other food vendors available. We were the first group to go through initial new training which lasted for 2 weeks. I was told on the initial hire phone call that we would be required to get the necessary physical during work hours.

Cons

It's unfortunate that I had to schedule a physical for the only time they had available with the urgent care as I lived an hour and a half commute. I told the supervisor the day and time and was never relieved of duty to go to the appointment. A week goes by and I'm told I'm not allowed on the production floor without the physical completed. HELLO!!!! I then am told via email not to return to work until my physical is completed. I also was not provided the proper Personal Protection Equipment that they taught us in training that was required. Pounding bumpers in all day made the hands hurt and no one knew how to acquire the padded gloves seen by the front entrance in padlocked see-thru lockers. So frustrating!
