Pros

Pay is decent for the area

Cons

Safety first, safety last, unless the customer needs it fast. Ridiculous deadlines, schedulers and coordinators must never speak to each other. Been there 4 years or less? Be prepared to sign off on every machine they throw you on. Been there 10/15 years or more? It's cool, you can just remain a packager. "We are all a family" Sure,sure we are. Will you help me lift up this rug? Let's just sweep this right under here. OSHA recordable? What's that? 'PPRECIATE YAY!

Pros

Great benefits overall when it comes to medical, 401k match and other benefits.

Cons

Work load and the department has very high expectations for this job. It's almost like an account manager/ customer service roll.

Pros

I have no pros that I can think of

Cons

I was actually let go in 2019. It would not let me scroll in the drop down for the year. I was let go after returning from short term disability. The only time I ever was on short term disability in 11 years. My lawyer told me I could sue and would more than likely win. I chose not to.
