Run, don't walk, in the other direction

Pros

Employees realize quickly after hire that this place is a toxic, abusive situation and promptly divide into two camps: The people who will look out for one another and the people who will throw one another under the bus. The first camp is the only pro about this company and that's very sad.

Cons

Profound noncompliance with quality and regulatory standards. Ridiculous scrambling and coverup activities afterward. Sadistic management styles, demanding work get done with no training, resources, or materials and then passing the blame when tasks can't get completed. Pay and benefits well below industry standard. Open tolerance of sexual harassment and racism. Blatant gender discrimination in workload and pay. Women with science degrees and years of industry experience routinely passed over for promotions and pay increases in favor of newly hired male fast food workers and factory workers with high school diplomas, who are then "trained" by the women who were considered unqualified for the positions. "Trained" because it's not expected the men will actually work - they'll hang out with the buddies who hired them while the women performed the duties the men were hired for. Pressure to work off the clock, take the fall for management, and hide noncompliance issues. Quality management regularly and shamelessly blaming the lowest skilled and lowest paid employees for high-level quality errors. Sick mind games, like giving production personnel a series of tasks that must be completed in one shift and then calling personnel out of their work areas every 30 minutes to yell at them for the day's tasks not being completed yet. As in, starting a shift at 7am, called out at 7:30 to spend an hour getting yelled at for not being done, back in at 8:30, called back out at 9 to get yelled at again for not being done, etc. Or promising to meet a competitor's offer if you stay, then firing you after you've passed on the other offer.

3 toilets in the whole place

Pros

When you suffer with others, you bond with them, so that’s something. This job will make you appreciate your next one. Learned GMP and other skills.

Cons

Ridiculous hours (50+) are the norm. You’ll miss your family, and may be too tired to enjoy your days off. Managers are pressured to do impossible tasks. God help you if you have to take an urgent dump, because chances are, one of the other 60 people there are using the only men’s toilet. I was always concerned about the constant equipment breakdowns and building leaks, etc. , and it seemed that we were always in emergency mode. Very stressful.

Pros

There are no pros! Working here was the worst mistake of my life! There is no leadership present at this facility!

Cons

There is no respect for employees! Employees are overworked and underpaid. Management is the worst. Inexperienced and uneducated even though they claim to have degrees!
