I enjoyed working there. I loved working 2nd shift. It's easy. Nobody pressuring you. Everybody let you learn at your own pace and always asking how I was doing. Mostly everybody knew me as slingblade there. Man on the bicycle. Hopefully I get to go back to work there. If I could I'd give it 10 stars.

If zero rating were an option I wouldn't hesitate, terrible work conditions, all they care about is making money. Constantly changing rules to "benefit" the quality of tables without taking in consideration from the men and women who actually get their hands dirty and work like slaves with the tables every day for the least amount of money in the whole company. I could go ALL DAY... OSHA would be wise to send in an undercover instead of letting them know when inspection dates are so they have time to clean up all the places they are lacking in. And then shut them the hell down.
