Pros

Not repetitive position Good salary for what you do Great experience for future positions Good work environment with employees

Cons

Absolutely terrible training, I had to learn the machine as I go and after two years I still don’t even know how some to run some machines to get an understanding how to fix the issues that come up Terrible management Depending on who you get as a supervisor it could be a uphill or down hill experience When business is busy you work a lot of overtime which is nice for the money but you don’t get much free time To move up in positions, either up too specialist or to supervisor position, you have to be there for ten years+ to get a decent pay increase

Pros

They pay well, but they think that's all that matters.

Cons

Say goodbye to your family, you won't see them while you work here. Supervisors are hired based off how well they brown-nose. Engineers refuse to find actual issues and just blame operators. HR is an absolute joke and tell victims of sexual harassment to get therapy instead of firing the offender. Supervisors that ruin the departments they're in charge of are promoted. Absolute trash, completely toxic, and just plain stupid. If corporate wanted to see progress at this plant, they would fire all higher ups and get people actually qualified for the positions in here. You only get promoted or given interviews based on how long you've worked at the plant. Supervisors, managers, engineers, etc. are never held accountable as long as they blame someone else. And if you work on night crew, you aren't even considered human. 3rd shift is treated as 3rd class.
