Pros
No union is a plus; the annual Christmas party is paid for by the company including alcohol; the shop is clean, bright and mostly air conditioned; a lot of good people to work with; decent communication from above about corporate goals and progress; strong focus on safety.
Cons
Comparatively low pay for almost every job function, especially while touting "competitive compensation"; below average benfits; "Americanized" style management meaning the bottom line is all that matters; the work force is treated with contempt; management is very cliquish and does nothing to hinder favouritism; high turnover in a number of job functions due to pay, politics lack of repsonse by management to concerns; archaic computing technology (Windows XP and Office 97); management that likes to pidgeon hole people;
