Pros

comparable starting pay for manufacturing, warehouse, and Labor. There are benefit options through the company. Strong recognizable brand which would make one initially think great job security.

Cons

after the starting pay that's where it ends there's no growth in financial advancement after probation and training is over which is why there is a lack in motivation with anyone out there all there financially is to look fwd too is the nickel raise every half decade in cost of living increases; yeah like that helps! The insurance use to be free for me and my family now its twice as much as my last two union jobs combined and doesn't even cover half. no free stock anymore and what use to be 100% 401(k) matching is now half matched up too 5 %. The imcompatent foreman are useless they are a bunch of right out of college kids witch bachelors in business who all think they are engineers and know nothing of the industry. You better follow your end of the contract even though the company wont follow their end and would rather pay thousands of dollars defending their naïve salaried employees till the end no matter what if even they are wrong then admit that they are wrong! You'll never not work a weekend or holiday and with rotating shift don't expect to keep any of your friends; but dnt worry an 80 hr wk is just avg. They only hire salaried employees outside and dnt promote within so expect to stay an hrly worker. As far as job security they are trying to find ways to outsource as much as possible; I'm not quite sure how they are going to outsource salt mines but good luck with that Morton!

Pros

Usually your work was pre-determined and the pay was not bad for the work performed. Most of the Supervisors were skilled enough with the work assigned and tried to listen to ideas of the workers when possible.

Cons

Parts were not always on hand when needed, and if parts did show up at the end of a shift you would be forced to stay over an extra shift with no advanced notice; and they never cared what plans you had made for after work. The workers that did most of the work got most of the work dumped on them regularly. The regular union workers were expected to uphold all the worker union agreements, but none of the workers ever got a fair shake from management after grievance was filed.

Pros

Opportunity to be part of a new regime with a recognized brand as long as you're willing to tow the company line.

Cons

It's not what you know, but who you know. If you're not part of the in crowd you will quickly find yourself an outcast. There is a definite clique mentality that goes from top to bottom.
