Pay and health insurance cost are the only positives aside from a respectable commitment to safety.

Shift start times are different almost every day. Shifts are scheduled 10 hours but often stretch to 12-15 hours for some workers depending on shift and department. Overtime including working days off is mandatory with no advanced notice and under threat of disciplinary action. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only holidays off.

Equipment is poorly maintained and facilities are dilapidated. Work is halted on a daily basis due to equipment failure. Many essential processes have not been digitized. Inventory and receiving are done with pen and paper. It is common for the plant to be lacking in supplies and PPE.

Management has zero respect for work-life balance and is totally insensitive to how their decisions affect employees. There is a clear bias toward first shift in work load and expectations. Schedules and shift times are changed nearly every 6 months. Opportunity to move between shifts or schedules is exceedingly rare. 

It’s a good job but hard to move up in the company to better your self if you good with being content and don’t like learning other things it would be a good place to work. The job has great benefits good with safety and they do stuff for the employees often.

This company cares very little about you. Favoritism is written all over everything. They work you hard with no regrets or sympathy. Management messes up and hourly employees are expected to come in on their days off to make up for it. Pay is below the industry standard. Not worth it. 

It's a great place to work.  Fast paced and you stay busy but it feels like a family.  I was able to move to the Lab Dept. after being in accounting/admin position for years.  The lab is busy but a great challenge. The co workers work together as a great team to get the job done.  I hated to leave but went to school full time.

I had to fill in for anyone that leaves for vacation 
My job was to learn to work on different departments .
I also had to fill in for those who where sick or got injured and for any reasons couldn't come back to work .

I would work overnite and would take apart pipes and sanitize equipment,so production line would b ready in the morning.I learned how assemble parts better and there wasnt a hard part of my job.I enjoyed the people i would work with at the time.

I got hurt on the job, severed a tendon in my wrist. The company refused me workers comp , called me a lair in front of my 5 yr old and did not even have workers comp for employees 
(they can opt out!). I quit and it took 2 years to get full motion back in my hand.

A typical day here is just working in our processing department and helping our processor out when needed 
I've learned a lot from how to talk to people and how to manage my time and work with other people 

Good place to work
 Alot of men have been at this company a longtime so it shows it a high quality place to get into and stick with. Some overtime available 

This was the best job I have ever had. I was a team lead and was responsible for all of the day to day decisions. It was stressful at times but very fullfilling to work at being to go to person and making the team achieve a great level of success.
