Terrible. Would often start at 11:00 PM to midnight and get done at 1 or 2 PM. Latest I've stayed was 5 PM, however you're always on call and the constant emails make it hard to sleep even when you do get home.
Other managers would show up late and push their work on your shoulders. However you're held accountable for their actions just as much as they are. "That's why you get paid the big bucks," is what a member of management told me. Yet they do NOT pay you enough to work the hours or the depreciation on your personal vehicle.

If you are hired as $9hr Material Hour then you are SHHHH out of luck. The Supervisors and the Machine Operators will work you like a dog, forced overtime, work 6 or 7 days straight, 8-10 hours or more, no (2) 15 minute breaks, if they decide to allow you to have a 15 minute break, it will be shorten to about 10-12 minutes. Your 30 minute lunch break is shorten due to the Head N In Charge walking around like a lost rattle snake with glasses looking for you to return to your machine and work. They think that there arent any better jobs out there, which GANNETT is the worse that Ive seen.
