      Pros

      Decent pay, unlimited overtime (within reason), alright benefit options, and the culture can be okay if you fit in well. "We are a family here." If you like that, and also are fit as a fiddle, you'll do stellar. If you talk to the right people, you can get good advice and opportunities. Some good souls work here that made the time I was there so worth it.

      Cons

      They will watch you like hawks on the cameras. They will message you with issues after you clock out and finished your daily tasks. The coworkers have cliques and if they don't like you, they will make sure you understand that fact. The cohesion of departments is non-existent. It's like a culture war between day/night shift, sanitation/warehouse, office workers/people who work on the floor. Folks will leave messes and not tell anyone. Management and workers constantly have discipline issues. I was told it's "like a highschool" with the amount of gossip. If you don't like teenage drama, you're going to find yourself struggling.

      Pros

      You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

      Cons

      Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
