Pros

Trying to give to most honest review I can. Honestly drawing a blank. Salaried workforce is usually trauma bonded. I regret ever working here.

Cons

I’ve worked at multiple sites, general list across all locations… - If you decide to work here, negotiate your start pay as high as you can, because unlikely you’ll get a raise outside of merit increases (3-4%) - Very “low trust” environment where everyone is made to constantly worry about who you can trust - Culture for salaried workforce across multiple locations is miserable - People aren’t recognized unless they do something bad - Corporate puts way too much work on HR’s back without considering field responsibilities (recently taking over payroll with many locations having only one HR role, and eliminating accounting departments) - Corp “leaders” will come for your wallet if you try to leave - New HRIS system is an absolute mess and no one in corp team implementing HRIS changes is being held accountable - Little work life balance - Been put in many dangerous personnel situations at work without concern from bosses - Personal sexual harassment claim not investigated for a year - Cases of insider trading in C suite even from Mike King - Beverage converting sites are getting shut down so there is no push from corp to improve anything

Pros

Direct management (Team Lead and Supervisor) are welcoming and extremely helpful with new hires.

Cons

Plant Manager likes to scream at people for fun I guess? He came through with my tl and supervisor and screamed at them in front of all of us last week.
