Pros

Great benefits, good pay, willing to give anyone who wants to work a fair chance to earn an interview Free snacks and drink stations in every unit

Cons

The uppers are unorganized and rude High turnover rate Huge factory easily to get lost and wind up being late. Too many security email work sites Too many apps to try and learn for the very important stuff like scheduling, payroll, reaching out to supervisors, explanation of benefits. A lot of waiting around with nothing to be productive with Lunch is onlyb30 minn not nearly enough time to even take the long haul travel to and from the cafeteria, much less your car it’s absurd.
