Pros

Good money and good benefits.

Cons

Long hours- ten to twelve hour days are very normal as is working 6 days a week. Although they pay their salaried team members well the hourly workers are underpaid for the extremely hard work that is required of them. As a result they have a annual turn over rate of over 100%. They have over 1000 hourly workers at the Shelbyville plant so they have to hire over 100 team members a month to keep the plant staffed. As a result the work force has been tapped out so they mostly get uneducated non english speaking workers.
