Pros
12hr block shifts make for nice scheduling later in the week. Team Leads are friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with.
Cons
Work was mundane and repetitive but coffee is provided and music is allowed
Advice to Management
Implement ergonomical tools to help ease strain induced by repetitive full-body rotational tasks, ie punching pallets or box-making. Many employees complain about this to one another. Implement more Lean principles in BAM printing production for material waste and labor-time waste. Maybe look further into RCFA and Corrective Actions to determine consistent defect causes, many may be operator induced and can be avoided with more Standardized routine implemented, I feel. General Kaizen practices here and there.
Overall I thought the facility layout was well planned and done, everything was kept clean, in its place, and general standardized routine was followed. the actual work was mundane and repetitive but the fellow employees and cool leadership made it easy.
