Pros

Good starting salary once you're off temp status, plenty of work

Cons

People with family connections to supervisors/managers are given preferential treatment. Shift leads are too young to be in such a demanding role; the one I worked with spent most of his time outside smoking cigarettes; another kid sat in an air conditioned office watching You Tube videos for most of his shift.Training was about as poor as I'd ever experienced, and opportunities were next to zero if you weren't related to a supervisor or manager.

Pros

Dial was a great place to work at one time. Great pay, great people, strong leadership. It is still one of the only global CPG companies in town to get certain experience, and you can learn something there if you play by the German's rules.

Cons

Lack of good leadership, poor employee policies and employee treatment, they lowered the pay and downgraded many of the jobs when they made it a regional hub vs a corporate headquarters. Very tough culture to work in. Okay for junior people that are satisfied doing as they are told with no questions, or for functions that fly under the radar, but otherwise have a very thick skin and be prepared work very hard with little to no appreciation.
