Pros
-Consistent work schedule
-The Gate Ladies are the nicest
Cons
-Little to no training. Employees are expected to perform jobs they were never properly trained for.
-Health insurance is expensive and offers minimal coverage.
-Constant material shortages make it impossible to do the job correctly, yet workers are still blamed for issues caused by those shortages.
-No clear structure or organization.
-Team leads often don’t know who is responsible for what.
-Employees are told to create internal documentation or processes, then later told they can’t exist due to “duplicate internals,” even though no clear system is in place.
-Poor communication between office staff and plant workers.
-The work environment feels more like a high school than a professional workplace.
-Favoritism is obvious. If you are not part of the “clique,” you are treated differently.
-Harassment is not handled appropriately. Concerns — including disability-related issues — are minimized, dismissed, or reframed in a way that makes the employee feel at fault.
-HR lacks confidentiality. Personal or sensitive information shared with HR is discussed openly and repeated back through supervisors or coworkers.
-HR appears overly familiar with certain employees, which undermines trust and makes reporting concerns feel unsafe.
-Employees are made to feel responsible for the way they are treated rather than the behavior being addressed.
-Employees who don’t fit in socially or question processes are targeted, written up, or pushed out rather than supported.
