Having worked for Liquid Container before it was bought out by Graham, I have lived the downhill slide.

Business Outlook

Pros

The paychecks clear every week.

Cons

There is very little concern for the employee as an individual. Work schedules can change in between shifts. Managers seem to think that they can "will" work to be done when there are too few employees to do the job. Human resources DOES NOT work with the employee, they are just a rubber stamp for the employment manual. They really need to lose the "employment destination" slogan as new hires are staying away in droves.

Pros

Never work here. It will suck your life.

Cons

No way to move up in the company. Corporate and local management are all leaving the company. "Employment Destination"; what a joke! Might be time for everyone to jump ship.

Pros

Pay and time off is good.

Cons

Managers have no clue how to run a production facility with more then 3 lines. They show favortism daily. If your not one of the top 3 people who they are scared of they will railroad you until you leave.
