Pros

Hourly progression relatively fast. With luck there are at least 4 good units to work in. Competent and professional coworkers.

Cons

Weak labor union has created hostile environment and separation between management and employees. Management encouraged through bonuses to cut operator overtime, reduce workforce, and overwork the existing employees. No bonuses for operators. Work load in some units entirely too high.

Business Outlook

Pros

Constant training, best equipment, multi trained employees, safety was their first concern. In addition they provided incentives for their employees and demanded that all employees be treated and treat each other with respect. From the person who ran the company to the people who filled drums and swept floors, each was treated with respect.

Cons

They moved the facility to Texas from Delaware. With caring for an ailing, elderly mother, it made a move away from Delaware an option I could not not do at the time. If it were not for that I would have retired from the company.
