Pros
It's a machinist job, they don't just contract with Boeing. It's four 10's or three 12's, which is always nice.
Cons
Reactionary and ineffectual management, zero communication between higher ups, and any failings of the business are ultimately paid for by the workers, not the incompetent legacy office crew. Most seem to be old McDonald's execs or something, preferring the rotating door style of employment, rather than investing in people who already know what they're doing. Breaks are only ten minutes, which is ridiculous. We get 16 "Flex Hours" every year rather than sick days, which is obviously the bare minimum they needed to avoid giving us extra time off. That's not even two shifts, which is pretty offensive and demeaning. You get two weeks of vacation for the first four years. Out of 52 weeks a year. The VP thought we were "doing a lot better" after we put paint on the ground, showing the priority is to Look like a business that knows what they're doing, rather than actually knowing what they're doing. While old employees get laid off and old machines are kept together with duct tape and bailing wire, paint and branded signage are a higher priority in the budget. Warren Buffett admitted he payed way too much for this raggedy company. Also the GM gets switched out every six months, just rich people passing money around. Tl;dr it's a non-innovative corporate hellscape that exists only well enough to buy rich people more stuff. It's a job, but probably not a future.
