Decent workplace

Pros

It’s a union shop but the guys are honest, hard working and have integrity. The workplace is kind of like family which can be good or bad but overall good. I also worked as a production supervisor for a while and that was a pleasant experience as well. The HR team was great and handled matters with integrity and they were always fair in their decisions. I can honestly say that everyone did their best to do a good job and I learned a lot from management and the workforce. It was an overall decent work experience. They were also very inclusive having celebrated Juneteenth and pride month even though the majority of the staff weren’t culturally bound to either celebration. There were also 3 huge birthday cakes every month, one for every shift to celebrate the month’s birthdays.

Cons

It’s a union shop so personnel and labor management was a thing and of course in supervisory roles, care needed to be taken so as not to overstep contractual agreement rules. This wasn’t a problem for me. Overtime is a lifestyle at that place so if you don’t consider work and home as kind of one and the same you might be miserable. This wasn’t demanded of me but in a salaried position, if you care at all about the demands of the business, it’s only right that you fit in and give some extra time for special projects. They hold a high customer service standard and quality is not a joke there.
