Pros

Nice co-workers, great pay.

Cons

I left because of safety concerns. In one building there is production/use of toxic sulfur dioxide. It has a suffocating smell but my manager assured me it was at a safe level to work in according to OSHA so I continued working. After leaving the plant, I continued to taste and smell the sulfur gas for hours. I kept burping and sneezing ( this was my body's way of getting rid of a foreign object). I became lightheaded so I proceeded to call poison control and they told me what to do. So as you can see they aren't "safety-oriented" really. There are railroads on the plant but no gates or flashing lights to warn pedestrians or cars when a train is coming. Accidents have happened in the past as well with train cars. Don't work here. I looked at the reviews here but ignored them. They were right.

Pros

The low level employees are generally good people that got hired into the current mess.

Cons

Bedford Park plant is suffering from 15 years+ of neglect. The plant is literally falling into the ground as the incredible amount of leaks are dissolving the ground under the foundations. Union contract is strange and puts a large burden on the salary staff to "run" the plant. Corporate is currently in the plant in force running a shadow management team undermining all efforts of the actual plant management.
