Pros

Other workers with the same title were nice to work with. Made new friends. Other workers feel the same way.

Cons

Management lied about raises, starting pay, and job. worked second shift. Took another position at another facility because they needed help. was told "you will look flexible", will help when it comes to raise time. Came back, told no raise cause was not doing job hired to do during that time. Began college, manager had no problem letting me start 1/2hr later and stay 1/2 hr longer, but evening plant supervisor said no. Asked to switch to first or third shift, and was told by H.R. no,and to just not go back to school. sorry, when i was supposed to start at 17hr, and you started me at 10 with a 1.25 shift premium, no thank you
