Pros

I genuenly liked working with the people at my level. Nice and clean, good product. Passionate reople.

Cons

No job security. Since I started, probably 60% of the workers who I thought were doing a great job were fired and nobody knows why. I felt stressed to the max at work then brought it home with me every day. My children suffered from my stress and I feel terrible for it. My wife has been supportive and we are glad I no longer work there. Its not my teams fault or any other shift, it has all to do with management. From the top with the plant manager and his close circle. They stick together and pass blame down to the shift leaders who in turn fire people for no good reason. Rather than helping, they fire. Everyone there seems very stressed and there is no sense of leadership. I would have quit much sooner but I was getting paid well. Looking back, it wasn't worth it.

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.
