Morton Salt reviews

Pay The company wants their salary workers to have a college degree which is fine. However, unless it's an engineering degree you are not compensated for it even if your position matches your degree field. Union workers (that are only required to have a high school degree) are paid just as much or more than those of us that have college degrees in something besides engineering. Basically if you want to work for Morton Salt either don't waste your money going to college or get an engineering degree so you can make enough to pay off your student debt. Hours This is a great company to work for as long as you don't have a life outside of it. They are constantly changing schedules and forcing people to work. Don't plan on doing anything on your days off unless it's a scheduled vacation day because chances are you're going to be working. You don't want to be a supervisor during the holidays. They have to work all holidays and are not given another day off durning the week in exchange. The higher ups at the plant sure seem to get all of their holidays though.

Rats fleeing a changing (for the worse) sinking ship. Employees used to stay 35 years because such a great place to work..now any longevity over 5-10 years, you are considered a dinosaur with no motivation to change; (they don't ask you and assume since most recent change has been for the worse (2.5 years of sheer misery), you, being an above average employee your whole career, now, is the problem) Most employees that were "Morton Salt" before K+S ownership, are now considered old and are not advanced. BUT, even 1-3 year employees bail constantly for better work conditions in Chicago!
