Pros

Strong Support in project work Everyone seems to leave at 3pm on Fridays Pay is excellent and Insurance Benefits are fantastic Management is trying to change culture but progress is slow Co-workers are very friendly

Cons

Union is in control of the plant not management Up for sale and sold 4 times in 10 years makes for a lack of continunity No communication on strategy or plans to finally make money Everyone is edgy about whether they will have a job in a year. Seems lots are looking and leaving In very rural West Virginia, hard to recruit top talent to this outpost. Divisional HQ in Paris tries to run the place 5000 miles away and very ineffectively
