Pros

Nice first shift hours 6-2:30

Cons

I signed on for piece work pallet repairing. After three weeks of them lying and taking advantage of me, I was still making an hourly wage of ten dollars an hour. I was moved to a bad table with broken tools and no backstop. I was told this was becuase there was not enough pallets being brought in. I was told last week their tools would be fixed. Never happened. I was also told I would start piece work Monday morning on the conveyer belt. Guess what? Never happened. They will use new people to fix their terribly broken blue pallets for ten an hour while the older hires earn by taking and stacking the nicer ones. It's a free for all and chaotic work environment. It's a wonder there aren't more injuries.

Pros

Provided unlimited safety equipment, ie gloves, ear plugs etc and new boots every year. They have a good benefits package with good health insurance. They work with you when situations come up. They'll give you opportunities for advancement. They literally bend over backwards for you. If you can't make it there, you need to do a little self reflection.

Cons

The only one I can think of is what happened to us. They'll sell out to a 3rd party company and your out of a job.

Pros

Amazing people, and benefits. I’ve had some really strong leaders at this company that have helped me grow. This is a fast paced environment.

Cons

High level leadership sometimes does not communicate the long term vision well. Getting pulled in different directions.
