Pros

Pay is decent and I have met some great people. In my plant, the management team seems to be giving their all to make positive changes for the better. You can see that they really want to treat you like a human being. Getting your job threatened will no longer phase you because you will become numb to it pretty quickly.

Cons

The "captain of the ship" seems to be working against my boss and his fellow managers. These guys want positive change but are being belittled and humiliated on a daily basis and in front of the hourly employees and seem to be afraid to make any decisions anymore. It is apparent when captain walks out on the prod. floor - the managers literally cower. Machines are overbooked and that seems to be ok with the captain. You will be told a 5 day/week plant...say goodby to your family and friends, kid's birthdays etc...you will be scheduled to work.

Pros

Great pay, easy work, plenty of hours.

Cons

Some of the people who work in the warehouses are lazy and they have the so called manager wrapped around their finger, So you end up doing their job and yours. The manager won’t do anything because he is just as lazy as the warehouse guy. And is scared of the consequences if he actually does his job and disciplines the sorry ———‘s So the real workers are the only ones that suffer. That very manager told me two weeks before becoming the manager over the shipping department that he didn’t think he would become the manager because he had already told the other managers that we have to stop over working our real workers to cover up for our non workers. I told him that night he would be the same way as soon as he got the position, And if he did that I would be the first to tell him. Point being: If you are a lazy piece of trash and have no self respect or work ethics this is the place for you. Bad thing is that you can not get in touch with anyone that has any interest in cleaning up (this particular terminal ) of a very good company.
