Plant Employees Treated Poorly
Operations Trainee (Former Employee) – Denison, IA – August 15, 2018
Employees working at plant locations are treated as second class citizens. Long hours (60+ hour weeks), little compensation for overtime. All other perks of working for a large company, including invitations to company events, are exclusively given to those working in the corporate office.
