Pros

I really think upper management is really supportive and structured. They pay was good and the workload wasn't overwhelming. It's a great place to grow and learn a lot of new experiences and skills.

Cons

Some supervisors were definitely racist and the plant is dirty and it stinks all of the time. However, I was in the corn plant which is probably one of the dirtiest parts of the East plants working with corn and animal feed. Overwhelming hours swing shift was a nightmare.

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
