Pros

Better than average Insurance, Good pay if you only have a GED, Great place if you are satisfied being just a worker bee!

Cons

Less than average pay for machine mechanic. Treated like a child by supervisors who weren't as qualified as I was. All they want is drones, if you do as you are told for 13 years you will be promoted whether you are qualified or not, and then once you join the 30 year club you don't have to do anything at all ! They throw millions of dollars in the trash every week cause they are to incompetent to repair or rebuild parts, it's just easier to replace them. I showed them how to rebuild a valve for 50 cents, my boss took it off and threw it out, he put a new $200 valve on because thats how we do it here! Glad I'm out of there!
