What American Crystal Sugar Company employees say about their job

Best thing
Lots of different pieces of equipment to work on so you get to learn and see a lot of new things all the time. Shift work with a week off every month some people like it some don’t. The pay is fairly competitive for the area.
Worst thing
Often I’m not allowed to work on certain things that I am qualified to work with but it isn’t in my job description. Not very well respected in the shop compared to the electricians, they seem to want the electricians to become instrument techs but don’t want instrument techs to be electricians.
