Pros

paid holidays, 2 weeks paid vacation to start. three weeks vacation after 5 years, four weeks after 15 years, and five weeks after twenty years. There are three personal time days but if they are used your review will suffer.

Cons

think (DO) control your life inside as well as outside work. Militant type work atmosphere where you are consistently watched as to not have any chance to step back from the job for a second or stretch from the constant standing in one position and even to the point that going to the bathroom is frowned upon. No consideration for any personal obligations even a doctors visit after core work hours is sometimes challenged to the point of threat of termination if you go to the doctor after your core 8 hours. Absolutely no consideration for your opinion about the best way to perform a job to anything else you may have an idea about. Their statement is flexibility and team concept but in actual practice they view you as beneath them and you are to do as your told and keep your mouth shut. Its a steady place to work if your willing to submit your whole life to them. Basically its a horrible sweat shop with a steady pay. Most people are miserable. The very high turnover proves this yet they have meetings wondering why none of their subjects want to stay To advance to better positions within the plant you have to have relatives or be sleeping with someone that has that authority to give you the job. I stayed here so my children don't have to ever work in a place like this and would be a failure in life if they had to seek employment here.

Pros

Most the people are okay. BUT this place is TOXIC AF They do not give you a 30min lunch, they take 30min out of your check, but they give you 30min away from your machine, so if you have to walk 2 to 3 min to and from your zone you barely get 25min for lunch, One of the new people was clocking out for 30 min for their lunch and was actually told if you clock out for 30 min you have taken a longer lunch than you are allowed.

Cons

Upper Management doesn't care or doesn't listen to employees, There is nothing on earth that will make people want to be there for 13days in a row, I used to hear at Cummins you have to follow the standard work, now its do whatever you have to to get your numbers. You DO NOT Provide enough time off, not when you are running people 13d in a row. you provide enough time off for a 40h work week nothing more, Get it into your thick skulls.
