Pros

At this point, I can't think of any.

Cons

If you are on 2nd or 3rd shift, good luck making it to 1st. Plant workers reach level 3 and the vast majority will never receive another raise. They will schedule 7 day work weeks at the drop of a hat, even weeks immediately preceding Christmas. Equipment (especially computers and lift trucks) are left in disrepair for months at a time. No one is on staff at the plant to keep the computers working. If you ask for any kind of understanding for a particular situation, forget it. You can work here 5 years or be fresh out of orientation, it doesn't matter to them. Employees are merely files in drawer, numbers to be cut and necessary evils to upper management.

Pros

Shaw offers a lot of opportunities for growth, great work life balance, very flexible, and has great values.

Cons

Very hard to get pay bumps / raises due to not having a standard annual review. They use "pay for performance" which allows them to dictate WHEN you receive a raise. Even if you're going above and beyond you really have to document every little thing you do here to argue for a raise.
