Vantaggi
The people are extremely nice and pleasant to work with. If you are lucky enough to find a mentor that is willing to put the time into your personal development plan and help you move forward in the company you have a chance.
Svantaggi
It's a typical manufacturing environment in which the workforce is not valued and turnover is at a ridiculous amount. I started with about 20 other associates about 2 years ago. There are 3 of us left. Orientation painted a picture of this paradise. A totally different work environment with opportunities you could only imagine... and I bought right into it. Only problem is that beautifully painted picture does not apply to people on the production floor. We are a separate entity from the rest of the plant. Now Hackettstown is a unique facility. We have our national office attached to our manufacturing building. So its an interesting dynamic, but there is a clear divide between the two. Opportunities are present and if you are willing to put in significant time and network successfully, you have a chance. Though it is highly competitive and often have large amounts of people internally competing for a single job.
