Pros

It pays the bills and that is about the only pro.

Cons

This place has gone down the tubes in the last 5 years. Management has no idea what they are doing and we are bleeding employees left and right...there are several people leaving that have been there for over 15 years! If you are losing senior employees faster than you can replace them then you are the problem not the workforce. They are currently having team building classes for management where they make paper airplanes and toss a red ball around...so that should fix everything...

Pros

Pay / benefits are good

Cons

OK the BIG problem is that instead of management finding ways to improve production processes and procedures to increase productivity, the management wants to just people to work harder. Example - Your belt wrapping machine is not used on the shift before yours. The supervisor could have someone go to that machine and make sure it is set up so that the minute you walk in, you could wrap belts. But no, you have to make all the adjustments before you can wrap belts. Example - Instead of having the machines set up to wrap one belt all day long, you have to change belt sizes and adjust the machines each time... That slows down belt wrapping productivity. Example - If you have a wrapper wrap the same size belt all the time, then they will be faster at it..... Example - The management pushes people to wrap a certain number of belts.... but when the wrappers arrive on the job there are no belts to wrap so the wrappers have to wait on the belts... If they did not have to wait then the number of belts would be higher... Dopers and low life working in production..... People are mean too.

Pros

The pay is decent, but I doubt that it is disbursed fairly.

Cons

An environment that does not favor anyone who does not have a friend or relative who is employed at the company. Not favorable for anyone who believes in discipline.
