Pros

Good pay and decent medical benefits.

Cons

Top leadership only cares about quarterly profits. Employees are overworked, zero effort is given to developing or assessing leaders (no feedback is collected, bad managers are promoted even if employees hate working for them, etc.), HR doesn't care about employees (30% of all non-executives MUST be rated as lower performers each year). I could go on and on. Don't waste your time on this train wreck.

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
