Pros

*It’s a pretty good place to get your name out there and get some experience. *The workers have your back and will help you out to the best of their ability. *The Supervisors feel like they are surprisingly more on the side of the workers than management and they’ll work with you. *Ok Pay, could be a lot better. *Long days off if they get fully staffed. *If you like Overtime to get a lot of money then this is a place for you cause its non-stop.

Cons

*OVERTIME! An insane amount of Overtime that will kill your home life to where you’re sleeping through the days/day your off before you have to head back in. *The place is very old and very outdated. *The machinery breaks apart a lot and requires repeated fixes which will slow down production. *The plant is the definition of Anti-Winter because the place is not configured to handle cold weather and it can become stressful. *Unfortunately, you will be overworked with 2-3+ Batchsheets most of the time. *You’ll feel like you’re underpayed for all the stuff you have to do. *The Chemical drums they have stored in warehouses are so clumped up in an area that its extremely difficult to get a pallet with an industrial fork truck. *You’ll feel like if anything goes wrong with the progress of Production, then someone in upper management will believe its the Operators fault. *Also, Morale is not really good because you feel like upper management doesn’t give a crap about you by working you into the ground.
