Pros

Great Frontline workers, coworkers and other teams really friendly, Union jobs pay great and the same for everyone besides slight differences for regional cost of living

Cons

Bad pay for existing employees, newer employees often start significantly higher and progression of pay often less than cost of living increase so new employee pay grows faster than existing employee pay. Management likes playing political manipulation games using frontline workers like pieces on a chess board. HR or management likes delaying progression on the pay scale to higher brackets, so people with less experience and qualifications comes in at higher pay. Also best paid people on the team will be anyone who isn't a white male, often enough so a white male of a higher pay grade will make the same or less than someone in a diversity group.

Pros

If you like working under the threat of being replaced at a moments notice then this is the right place for you.

Cons

Company already went through lean, now they are outsourcing on top of that. Everyone is scared and upper management doesn't care. The new crew is using a 15-20 year old, outdated outsourcing model in an industry where its GOV regulated. They have no idea what they are doing.
