Pros

Some friendly people to work with.

Cons

Where to start? Hmm... There's definitely a racial divide amongst staff. I'm white by the way. They tell you you'll work 8hrs/day and have weekends off, but really you'll work mandatory 12hr days and almost every saturday. Some sundays. There is NO work/life balance. You'll eat, sleep, and slave away while working for this company. Good luck if you have a family like me. This is why this place is always hiring, because NOBODY wants to stay there! They slowly kill you. Unsafe environment. The fumes and welding smoke are nauseating, the ventilation is absolute garbage. No heat in winter, no cooling in summer. Summers there are BRUTAL. Stay AWAY from this place and any lying temp agency trying to place you in FIC. You might be desperate like I was, but as I learned there is ALWAYS another opportunity somewhere else. Your body and sanity are NOT worth the suffering you'll experience here.

Pros

Was hopeful when I started, but now, There is absolutely nothing positive to say about this place.

Cons

Place is filthy with carbon dust and weld spatter from the canisters they make, and everyone has to breathe it. They say it is safe but I wonder. It is noisy as hell and hot as hell in the summer (no a/c) and freezing in winter. Ok it is manufacturing but still. The bathrooms are disgusting, the kitchenettes is also disgusting. Thankfully my desk was not on the shop floor. Leadership is non-existent: the GM got fired abruptly about 3 months ago. Planners either got fired or quit. I left as did a senior engineer, and the production manager all left about a week ago. Getting replacements is near impossible. Turnover at the line level is also a serious dilemma. We cannot keep employees for any length of time as they usually have a shelf life of about 2 weeks to 2 months and they abruptly quit. 99% speak Spanish so communication is difficult as is developing them and most dont care about that anyway. There is no interviewing them and they are just handed to the supervisors sight unseen on day 1 and they have struggle to make their production quotas.
