I hate working at this factory.
It’s got great benefits, the pay is fantastic and the people are good to work with.
The problem I have with it is the lack of air conditioning when we are working. I get it, we have lots of deliveries so the doors are open all the time to drop things off or send things out. It’s part of the job and there really isn’t anywhere to escape the heat. There is a spot though and the frustrating thing is that upper management doesn’t spend the extra dollar bills to increase the comfort. That area is the breakroom. How can management not put some sort of air conditioning system in there? It’s crazy to think that we have a spot where we can relax, get out of the heat and prepare for the next several hours again in the warmth. But nope, they don’t see it as an issue apparently. The winters aren’t bad but the summers are just outrageous and it will definitely help if they called up the HVAC company to send out one of their cooling technicians just to provide a quote or whatever. Show us that you care about your employees. I currently don’t see it and I know that many other people that I work with feel the same way. Five days a week with one Saturday a month dealing with this heat. The company makes a ton of money during the summer because that is when we are busiest. They should take a little of that money and help us a little more. I’m already well compensated, but just a little air conditioning could help go a long way.
