Pros

Pretty good pay but that is about it.

Cons

PPO insurance is $500 a month for hourly, salary pays less. Salary is trained to not listen or trust hourly employees, also to treat hourly like they are uneducated and stupid. They hire foreign engineers from India on H1B Visas, they have no clue about American culture and do not communicate well. Salary spend most of their time is in worthless meetings and have no idea how the plant runs and operates. They hire salary employees with no experience in the actual trades they are managing. They keep cutting hourly employees and the plant is falling apart.
