Pros
Coworkers are some of the best people I've worked with 2nd shift 4 day work week
Cons
Ideas and suggestions often get ignored. Company restructuring means constant change and new management. A Lack of opportunities to move to and learn other lines. You're often just stuck in one place doing the same thing. Lack of communication between shifts makes work frustrating. First shift often jumps to conclusions and makes assumptions which leads to miscommunication and frustration. Switched to a pay for performance model instead of promotions despite not having a realistic way to measure individual employee performance and growth. Tasks that require specialized training earn you a pay differential. However if you are tasked with performing multiple specialized jobs, the differentials don't add up meaning you won't get paid for all of the work you do. I was told just to pick the higher paying differential because it was "not possible" to change the system to allow you to earn both. Lack of thought put into employee reviews. A serious lack of thought and value put into training. Anyone can train anyone to do anything even if you've only been there for a couple months which often leads to incorrect procedures being followed and lots of mistakes.
