Pros

+ smart application of manufacturing tools/techniques which are effective and efficient + Toyota LEAN concepts applied to drive continuous improvements + fast pace, high energy, talented managers / specialists + goal clarity and focus: safety, quality, productivity. + routine metric measures + innovative, growing existing business and expanding to new horizons

Cons

- priorities piled on. Managers invariably work too long and/or miss deadlines. - focus on fast to execute discourages pushback / challenging questions - no time for team or individual development. - "peak" season shouldn't mean working 70 hrs/wk. And if you work 55 hours, you're "not committed". - base salary too low. - Pathway program demotivating for those not in the program who perform well.

Pros

The money is great for a temporary job! The job is good excercise, and employees have the potential to be trained on heavy lifting equipment. Plus they provide work gloves, box cutters and they don't have a restricting dress code. Facial piercings are allowed!

Cons

The hours are long and the breaks are extremely short. The breaks are so short that going out to lunch is not a possibility. They have strict safety rules, and it gets kind of ridiculious how they are with injury reports. If a person gets a paper cut they have to fill out 4 pages of paper work. They are really strict about line and picking rates. Just because a person gets hired on as a permanent employee doesn't mean that they are excempt from making rates. If you are hired late in the season you will have less likely of a chance to be made permanent, so if you are serious about the job start applying early.
