Great leadership, uncanny benefits, nice people

Pros

At this point, I can't think of any.

Cons

If you are on 2nd or 3rd shift, good luck making it to 1st. Plant workers reach level 3 and the vast majority will never receive another raise. They will schedule 7 day work weeks at the drop of a hat, even weeks immediately preceding Christmas. Equipment (especially computers and lift trucks) are left in disrepair for months at a time. No one is on staff at the plant to keep the computers working. If you ask for any kind of understanding for a particular situation, forget it. You can work here 5 years or be fresh out of orientation, it doesn't matter to them. Employees are merely files in drawer, numbers to be cut and necessary evils to upper management.
