The only pro is that colleagues get along well.
Gender discrimination is severe, with men favored over women. People doing the same work are paid differently, and women’s wages are casually several thousand lower (for operators/packers). Working on Saturdays does not come with overtime pay; they only say it is one extra day’s wages. So no one wants to work on Saturdays. Orders are placed carelessly, and when they cannot be completed, the only response is, “Then speed up.” They dump the orders on us and leave. Also, the sales staff often come into the production department and harass us. They keep coming in to look at who knows what, without asking any questions, just walking around there. They have no understanding of the difficulties faced by our hands-on production department and place orders randomly every time. I suggest having the sales staff complete a few orders themselves so they can see exactly where our difficulties lie; otherwise, there will always be disputes between the sales and production departments.
The sales staff and office personnel are the only ones treated as human; the rest of us are not.
It is unbearably hot, and when we request updated air-conditioning equipment, etc., they just say that this is normal for a sheet-metal factory and that we should endure it and get used to it.
(And it is 29–32°C, while we also have to walk around carrying heavy objects, etc.!)
There are no exterior windows, the air-conditioning is ineffective, and machines are used inside. The unpleasant odors are bad enough, but they also pose health risks…
This job really cannot be done for long…
