They are a total joke. the way they treat the employees is like a 3rd world country. Anyone that works there and is not in the family, is not gonna be there working for long. There are brothers, friends, wife's, and husbands, plus their kids, working in the manufacturing area and beyond. Skip this place.

They do not care about their workers. If you get injured they will not use their insurance and will even dock your pay for the hours you had to miss. If you run into medical issues outside of work and ask for better working conditions during the time it takes to recover, they will get annoyed and actually make your job harder, then say YOU'RE incompetent and fire you. This comes from personal experience and over 20 years at this miserable company.
