Pros

Offers a hybrid work option

Cons

The leadership in the area I work in is authoritarian. Back end office processes are overly complex and manual.

Pros

Salary and overtime are fantastic. You can write your own paycheck here and make as much or as little as you like. You can shift swap so with a 12hr rotation you can get up to 7 day stretches off without using vacation time. Benefits are pretty fantastic with a low contribution out of my paycheck and a super low deductible.

Cons

Lots of animosity between the union and the company makes for a sometimes hostil environment. Also, certain areas of the plant can be quite filthy and not temperature controlled so be prepared. Thankfully they pay $2/hr more for those areas because of it.

Pros

The people in the union and the other employees that actually are part of the union are great. The pay is also great.

Cons

The upper manamgement is garbage and they don't care about the running of machines or the people working the machines. They need a better training program as well as have a longer training period. The probabtion period needs to be shorter. You also have to be in your position for 18 months before you can even bid out for another job. HR is never there and they can never give you an actual answer. They ony hum and haw about anything you need help on.
