Pros

It's a place you can collect a pay check. They do have ok health insurance. Over time is available to you.

Cons

They preach about doing every thing safe,but on the floor it is a different story. Production in reality is the number one issue.New employees are not welcomed vary well by other workers because of the high turn over rate. The amount of work and the heat out there are a very dangerous combonation. If you get hurt or sick and have to leave work they tell you to sign a statement that your condition is not work related. They have shut downs periodicly and if you live paycheck to paycheck you might find your self in a bind.

Pros

Average benefits. Great co-workers. That is just about it.

Cons

No real reward system. They tell you that bonus/raises occur when you show value creation. This just isn't true. Promotion and growth is virtually non-existent. The harder you work, the more they want to keep you in that position. They do not practice the belief that you need to have the right people in the right position. I've outgrown my current position two years ago. And here I am.
