Pros
Only pro was never forced overtime.
Cons
Awful insurance, can’t get maintenance to fix anything, bipolar bosses, and serious favoritism. If related to or a suck-up to certain people in high places, you can miss as much as you want, screw off as much as you want, and never really be punished for it. Each shift is treated differently. First can do whatever they want, second is expected to make up for it and clean up after them, third just has no supervision whatsoever and due to that usually gets away with whatever they want.
Expected to cross-train, not paid for it. No guarantee you get more than a 50 cent raise no matter what you know/can do. The pay is truly a joke. No one can live off of the 18-19 they pay, especially when insulted by them expecting you to learn 2-3 positions but only be paid for one. While folks in supervisory positions are getting bonuses of thousands of dollars.
Also, they’ll lay you off and keep lazier/less invested workers when the heads of the company make poor financial decisions.
Forklifts onsite unsafe to use. More than half the required tools for the job don’t work correctly and they will not fix them, but it’s your fault if production numbers drop.
It’s also somehow your job to make sure the programmers (who are paid significantly more than you) did programs correctly before you run them or else that’s your fault, too.
Also, if laid off, you get no warning. No severance package. Just info to apply for $500 a month Cobra medical coverage.
