Pros

Overtime was almost unlimited Some managers were good

Cons

-Have to live here to make a good living for a family. -Refinery department lacks experienced front line managers(direct contact), they're more like engineers and don't know how to deal with the workforce, lacking in communication, stewardship, and doesn't promote comradery. -union employees morale is very low, causing attitudes and verbal altercations almost weekly between operators. -not enough training before releasing operators to a job. -operators were the one's who trained new operators so more than likely it was a disgruntled worker training a new worker so you know how that goes.

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.
