Pros
Nice modern plant great location.
Cons
There are two types of employees those before the warning letter and those pots. Some of the older staff are some of the laziest people I have ever encountered. They sit in roles over 20 years and doing their best to avoid work. A say lots and nothing culture. Overpaid and useless. Operations spend more time on breaks then at work.
