Pros

The only pros are good hours. The only time you will ever be sent home early is if a machine breaks down. If you enjoy having your body destroyed, you'll love it here.

Cons

It's a factory It only does 12 hour shifts It's extremely fast paced The majority of people there don't speak English so being an American temp you are the minority (there was only 3 Americans there when I was there) Manage does not communicate with employees, when you're told to go on break it's by another employee It only pays 8.50 an hour! Yes.. that's right.. after taxes you make less than minimum wage at a factory! There is absolutely no possibility for advancement. You have to be brought in from another company to be a "supervisor" which there's no information even available on that

Pros

This company has a 401k and pension plan. They have two weeks of paid vacation and overtime hours. The job is extremely easy. You put plastic bottles in boxes.

Cons

For at least the last 3 years they have not hired any temps. The company has about 85% temporary employees. The pay is extremely low, 8.50/hr. You work a rotating 12 hour shift which means you will work every other weekend. There are no incentives to stay.
