Overworked, taken advantage of. Not as advertised

Pros

The total compensation is actually where most factory workers should be.

My job at my location is indoors.

Cons

Overworked, this workload is nowhere near reasonable. The required amounts of overtime and daily workload, together due to understaffing, are exhausting. Management has made some meager attempts to address the understaffing, but by the time new hires come in, others have burned out.

Daily meetings consist of nothing more than spouting on about mistakes that were made as a result of schedule pressure and understaffing.

Everyone here is your boss; literally, anyone in this place can approach you with a concern at any moment, and you will be expected to file tons of paperwork. You will have to push this paperwork through a system at the opposition of everyone who makes a higher salary than you in the entire building, including people who work from home.

New hires come in making more than you for the same position. Those new hires are also about to get the promotion you've been trying to get. The new hires you just trained now have a higher-paying job than you. Hiring managers are unable to even see the quality and volume of work you do, even if they were interested in knowing.

Advice to Management

Numbers aren't everything.

Consider some of the folks who aren't your fishing buddy for that promotion.

Those criticisms you hear from media sources aren't just voices in your head.

I mean, just look at the stock prices already.

That perfect Toyota plant you read about is a debunked myth; seriously, look it up. They silenced people.

The occasional pizza party?
