    Do not work for this company! Terrible work environment and very poor culture
    The good thingsnothing positive to say about this job or environment
    The challengesMicro management, condescending and aggressive supervisors. Unsafe work environment, expected to climb on top of truck loads of steel to hook lifting chains with no harness.

    Ruined by an aggressive, incompetent micromanager
    The good thingsSome good people Learn some transferable skills
    The challengesThe factory floor manager is aggressive and short tempered. Doesn't resolve conflict between people because of joining in on the drama and gossip. Oversteps managerial duties and micromanages everything.
