Pros
On site Gym is outstanding. Teamwork among upper management can be good. But loyalty is questionable.
Cons
as a manager you will have to deal with a union workforce that has no performance standards, no daily metrics, and a very unmotivated team of Supervisors, coordinators, and dock workers. They have been mistreated for so many years it is very difficult to motivate them and nearly impossible to hold them accountable for anything. The HR department is very weak and doesn't support management. Even after 'they' issue disciplinary action they flip and reinstate with pay once a grievance is filed. This practice completely takes away the authority of the management team. The company is in a large downturn and just finished it's 1st wave of layoffs. As a team we worked 50% of our weekends this year and it is only picking up. There tends to be a lot of finger pointing between facilities due to lack of training in the middle and lower management ranks.
