Pros

The people at the facility were incredibly kind & welcoming. They truly want everyone to succeed. I don't want anything I say to discredit them; they were thoughtful & willing to go the extra mile. Everyone from the machine operators to the GM were kind & ready to assist.

Cons

I was hired & specifically told that I'd spend the first 6-9 months learning & training in order to grow on my skills before being promoted into a role for someone to move onto a higher role. Very quickly, they were backtracking on that. From telling the company I was brought on for one thing & then being upset I was doing mostly that task, to my direct manager not speaking to me about what I had asked to learn. At the end of the day, I was terminated after a month because they did not think I was capable enough to learn. They admitted after feedback I improved tremendously but said "the fact we had to give you feedback was a red flag." This coming after a company wide workshop saying onboarding takes longer than 90 days. I lasted 30 days because they didn't realize they wanted to just hire at that higher level & instead insinuated I was stupid & incapable. I found out I was being terminated by a PTO request, my manager to this day has not spoken to me in regards to this.
