Pros

Large company with some interesting products.

Cons

Severely Understaffed & Overworked. Constantly add projects, but don't add staff/resources to do them. Some dept heads need to learn how to say No in order to retain their people as there are only so many hours in a day & weekend. HQ does not seem to care about USA employees' Work/Life balance as evident by the much lower Euro workloads & higher staff counts in same depts and by their refusal to add USA staff when needed..

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.
