Pros

They have great employee benefits. They pay out of pocket for many of your nececities for work and outside of work. 3 bonuses every year. Small company more personal. It's more of a laid back environment you don't have to worry about accidentally cussing, or things in that nature. Co workers are good people.

Cons

The pay is low, far below state and national averages. Don't expect to rise any higher than the bottom. You're expected to do far more than your job requires and you are not compensated for it. A "packager" is expected to not only package the product but fill it as well as doing everything besides loading it into the truck. You're also responsible for maintenance and cleaning of the machines unless you absolutely require the maintenance guy. They rarely hire from within. Most of the supervisors treat you as if you're dumb and don't listen to you, as well as people above your supervisor. Very unorganized. Constantly stopping Nd changing projects before they are finished. I mainly blame the management for the issues. You will be blamed for anything that goes wrong, even though it's most likely managements fault for the lack of organization. The 3rd shift supervisor is probably the only good supervisor. 1st and 2nd shifts supervisors are both incompetent liars that can't take responsibility for their mistakes or stand up for their employees. Moral is horribly low. The company thinks they need less people, even though they are growing 20% or more a year.

Pros

Nothing really except benefits here

Cons

Worked here for 2 years . Management will not do you any favors . They will forget about you as a long time employee and give atta boys to new employees for fear they will leave . From day 1 people recycled in and out of this company . The materials you work with which are very hazardous often get into the air and you breath them in . Growing sense of paranoia to your safety each proceeding day . They say the will fix safety issues ,but will continue to practice unsafe acts until it can be fixed. This puts you in danger . Management changed when the company was bought by a global entity . They DO NOT care about you or your safety . This place is very toxic with the majority of the employees not wanting to work there . Raises are thin , they used to do performance raises . They only give cost of living wages now to give you're hard work the shaft. This is only cents on the dollar . I cannot say this enough times . Do not work here . You will be chewed up and spit out on you're butt wondering what happened .
