Pros

Some of the coolest people I worked with, on second shift. Had once a month catering. Did offer a scholarship program to learn the trade, but did lock you into a minimum 3 year contract.

Cons

Only hires through temp agencies. Constant belittlement by First shift operators and technicians. Management doesn't really care about second shift and often throws them under the bus when a problem arises, despite the origin of the problem beginning on first shift. Kept the company open and running during the pandemic shutdown, blatantly lying about being an "Essential Service." Brought First Shift base pay up to $15/hour, but kept Second Shift at 14.25/hour with a $0.75 differential. Would monitor employees through security cameras and used this knowledge as a threat. Had to come back and edit this, front office keeps a fridge stocked with alcohol and will actively drink during operation hours, they try to hide it from production employees.

Pros

The people in production/manufacturing are great people, not including management. You can work and complete the basics without putting forth any effort, thats how all employees approach this company.

Cons

Lack of leadership. Family owned company where the family needs a say in everything. Management constantly puts employees down, even in front of others in a meeting setting. Very toxic environment unless your "family" with the owners.
