BIC Reviews

Pros

Setup so training is long enough so when your on a Machine by yourself you have confidence enough to work faster and become reliable.

Advice to Management

Absolutely loved working there. I believe the boss I had was a Matt Farrell. Reason I remember is his first name and even last initial is the same. Unfortunately a huge life event put a quick end to my employment but would recommend the job to anyone who, like myself, likes to put in a hard days work for decent pay. Only issue I can address or think of would be the presences of actual management on the floor instead of listening to someone who a new employee wonders if he is making the correct change or if the person who ces to help knows what the heck he's talking about.

Pros

Benefits, company events, and employee engagement activities.
