Heavy in overtime during peak times
Heavy in overtime during peak times
The pay for entry-level is not bad, and they did give a raise adjusted for local living costs. There are plenty of overtime opportunities, with regular 50-hour work weeks depending on your department. One-quarter of time is spent on the computer, and three-quarters assembling, so it's not heavy work.
There is a lack of work/life balance with these shifts, especially if working nights. The workload can become heavy at times.
