Pros

Long hours, helpful employees. The people are genuinely nice for the most part and will help you learn the ropes. Since there is no formal training provided, you have to learn for the workers.

Cons

No upward mobility for Machine Operators. Turn over rate is astounding. People working there for years earn the same as someone who just came in. You are treated like second class citizens.

Pros

Supportive new ownership has aggressive growth plans for well established industrial business serving the environmental industry, and is investing heavily to make it happen. Company is successful and customers enjoy the relationship and experience, too! A renewed focus on sustainability is a huge plus also.

Cons

The business has faced many challenges since the founder's passing, with a very difficult period under prior ownership by a PE firm. The new current ownership provides the company a bright outlook, with great energy and skills to support the business going forward.

Pros

PTO accrual. Outside of that, there are no pros.

Cons

Never seen such incompetent top management. They're refusing to pay bills resulting in repossessions, police showing up, employees unable to access the building or even have PPE to work safely. Management treats operators horribly and threatens their jobs constantly. Owner repeatedly told us he didn't care about the company as he would insult multiple staff members on calls. We make trash cans and this guy refuses to buy raw material to even do that.
