Review from Operations Dept

Listen to the people on the floor that perform the tasks day in and day out. Management tends to dismiss all suggestions given to them to increase production or morale.

Awful. Management is switched out every 3 to 4 years. By the time they learn the business, things are so messed up floor workers are there 6 to 7 days a week for a year trying to clean up the mess made. Not right or fair to us!!

Review from Operations Dept

Need to start caring about the factory workers. It's not the same company that I started working for 25 years ago. They need to bring back the pension for all employees. We work around chemicals, that could be harmful to you. But yet they just want you to be thankful you have a job.

Poor management, they don't care about the people in the factory that makes the products. And work with the chemicals.
