Pros

Production always has overtime since people are always hurt and quitting, which is bittersweet.

The shuttle helps commuters, since we don’t make enough to live close to work without a roommate or partner.

Cons

Quality department AMs and upper management are very biased when it comes to hiring their friends and people of the same race.

Pay is not adequate for how hard the jobs are.

It's all about who you know, not what you know, so a butt kisser will get promoted first, especially since they are always low on hard-working people on the line, as the harder workers leave due to mistreatment.

I used to get two raises a year, but now we get one.

They also lowered how much we get when we do get a raise.

You can get a written or verbal warning when someone has an accusation, even if there’s no proof.

They always expect more of you, even though they have consistently lowered pay.

Advice to Management

Stop worrying about promoting your friends and then getting mad when people don’t give 100%. You’ll never get people to work hard if you make them feel like they need to be your friend to advance.
