Pros

2 mins of joy when hired - soon replaced by confusion wonder disappointment regret & anger as the fiction given at orientation is replaced by the reality of working here, lack of support, training guidance or assistance from management or the union you are forced to join and pay dues to when hired.

Cons

shabby training by a group of unorganized ineffective people who's only interest is dragging the process out as long as possible /they get extra pay for training. No effort made to train consistently on Heavy Equipment Lifts you'll use, often elevated 50+ feet above the concrete floor. Attractive & younger women get most of the training while lesser so and men get very little at all but a lot of standing around waiting for training that will not come. Process takes 2-3 weeks for certification, then trained & comfortable or not, you are thrust into a power lift by yourself & expected to produce at a rate equal to those who have been here for years. You will have a lead who does not help you succeed or give positive feedback or guidance, only derogatory remarks and opinions of what a moron you are. The union reps are never available & wont return calls or messages, Human Resources wont help, managers only look to write you up, the Lunch room is 10 minutes away so you have to eat in 10 and be on your way back or you get written up. Finally if you last 2 months without injuring your self another or, especially the machine you are not properly trained to use, you get laid off when it slows down, I promise. They have "favorites" who've been there 10-20 25 years who they will keep year round, but everyone else...its a Seasonal Product, You will be Laid Off soon, NO warning, uou are Underpaid $8-$13 an hour versus if you did this job anywhere else no Holiday pay No Hazard pay despite 50+ ' work elevation that warrants Hazard pay, finally no levis are made in USA anymore, all from overseas, the best 501s are made in mexico $ still cost 100 per.
