Benefits, Salary, Perks, and Growth Opportunity

Cons

Swing shift schedule is killer. No one seems to care to change it. They rather kill everyone. You can see it in everyones faces how the swing shift takes a toll. Management is another con. They run the buisness opposite of what they are taught. There is clearly a culture transformation for the worst. This company was really wonderful to work at. I really enjoyed my job. It was nice to have that corner candy shop feel and being able to make those smiles. Management took that fun away. Now we all know wherever you work we have a job to do. But it doesn't need to be micromananged under the gun. Bottom line is the current regime has been making poor decisions and using the leadership beneath them as there escape goat. The company was a team from top down. It lost that with this management team. I'm sorry not a team. Bosses, tyrants. Sad how it became. Now I understand why Forrest would promote within because they knew the buisness and he could trust it would be run as it should be. He wasn't too keen on bringing in outside people to run his buisness on a leadership level. I'm sure he's jumping in his grave right now. I put a lot of years into this place and I had to leave it. They teach you don't leave the company you leave your boss. This is 100% with the management there. A lot of the problems is there stuck on this high horse of what they call MSE or MRF. Its the POC (root cause) as they say in there language of why the plant is what it is. They skew data to make everything look like its improving but bottom line there is no change. Only blame the leadership below them and everyone who is involved in this nonsense flavor of the month initiative is there saviors as they sit behind a laptop and do absolutely nothing. Honestly, I can keep going all day. It's a shame what an M&M factory has become.

Pros

The benefits are really good.

Cons

Please replace some of your HR Managers. They are incompetent. Retaliation, sharing confidential information, favoritism and more.

Pros

Good benefit . Vacation time is the only reason I stay at this place

Cons

Management, lack of principles, dont respect people on the floor opinions. Making rules up on the fly. Different standards for floor workers and office workers. No work life balance! Unless you work in the office you get treated like crap. Encouraging (Forcing) people to give the company high Mark's on their gallup survey. Get Marks against you even if the punch clock dont work. I'm pretty sure they will find out who I am an fire me instead of fixing their problems!
