Pros

Fresh fruit tray in the lunch room ( yea right, you get crab apples)

Cons

If you work in the factory you will be treated like dirt... if you work in the plant/front offices you can leave work early, work "summer hours", and work from the lunch room all day and pretend its a starbucks. You will get a nice break over the holidays and if its snowing you can stay home.

Pros

Coworkers were very nice and helpful. Learned a lot about animals. Great PTO. Was about to take off when needed.

Cons

Loved working here at first, but then I felt like a machine. I understand KPIs and metrics, but repeating the same thing multiple times a day quickly tires you out. Having your calls listened to can feel pressuring and invasive, though I understand why it is done. Micromanaging by a new manager with no prior experience at the company made things worse. My previous manager was hands-off because he trusted his staff and their monthly reports; it wasn't necessary to hover over us. I had great KPIs and scores, but with my new manager, the goalposts were always moving, and it was never good enough. It was frustrating. I enjoyed everyone on my team, but, as always, it's the manager who overwhelms you for no reason and pushes you away. Throwing in how much the company has made during our quarterly meetings were kind of a slap in the face. Raises need to be a priority, this is a multimillion dollar company.
