      One of the Worst Jobs I've Ever Had

      Machine operator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Essity is a great company overseas, just awful in the U.S. -Good co-workers, and that's really it

      Cons

      -Bad management (worst I've ever worked under) -Bad benefits -Machines are literally falling apart with management not caring a single bit about actually fixing them -No work-life balance -Rotating shifts (days-to-nights/nights-to-days every two weeks) -Culture is awful -No avenue for advancement -The union is a "union" in name-only -Overtime system is terrible -As an operator, you do 80% of the maintenance work despite having actual maintenance that makes $10 an hour more than you

      Glad to have this job

      Electrical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Work-Life balance as a salary employee. People are easy to get along with if you're a decent person. Management does not breathe down your back if you're doing your job.

      Cons

      Hard to receive a bump in pay. Also, the pros of good bonus, benefits, and vacation are seeming less and less competitive in the region.
