Pros

Weekly pay, decent pay for the area.

Cons

Every other conceivable aspect. Not an exaggeration. Management is awful, corporate is just as bad. This is bay far the most horribly mismanaged company I have ever worked for, or even known of. We've had a ton of people who have been covid positive, and the company not only doesn't let the people working with them know we've been exposed, they do whatever they can to actively hide it. Ooh! And they're bussing prison inmates 2+ hours each way to *try* to stem the lack of staffing, because everyone who lives here knows better than to work there, because it is seriously that awful. Run far and fast. Seriously, work anywhere else. Flipping burgers for minimum wage is a step up from RSC.

Pros

“One of the most rewarding parts of my role was building my team and continuing to learn. The plant employees consistently supported one another, which made the work meaningful.”

Cons

Corporate leadership made collaboration difficult. Criticism was frequent and often came from individuals without plant-level knowledge. I was told I was “wrong” while actively teaching and supporting them. Corporate leadership operated under different rules than the plants, including separate vacation plans and holidays. Equal treatment was never achieved, and the belittling behavior was unlike anything I had experienced in a professional environment. The culture reflected a clear “do as I say, not as I do” mentality. In my experience, Corporate HR lacked transparency and demonstrated questionable ethical practices. Accountability was inconsistent, which made it difficult to lead effectively and retain strong talent.
