Pros

Good 401K contribution (has been reduced in recent years), decent insurance, good job stability. Techs and managers are two different classes of people. Managers are well compensated and allowed to move freely throughout the company while technicians rarely move. Managers get reviews and raises annually, while techs can be stuck at a pay rate for several years.

Cons

Pay progression system is relatively easy to progress through until level 3 of 5. After that, it becomes difficult. Swing shift life makes effective work/life balance difficult for techs. Watching your CEO get $26 million in compensation and your management get bonuses while your annual COL raise gets eclipsed by your increased share of insurance cost gets hard to swallow year after year.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
