Not sure of a future

Business Outlook

Pros

They are not working 7 days a week 12 hours a day anymore. The pay is not bad and actually get OT for working OT as straight time but only up to 10 hours a week.

Cons

Company has downsized from about 2100 to 900 in a few years. No new business coming in either. Not sure the company can survive on OES much longer and some of the bigger lines are about to go OES as well. Not sure there is a bright future here if there is any future at all for this company. They have let go lots of good workers to just "trim the fat" and never know if that next cut could be you.
