Pros

Work week schedule is 3-4-4-3 which is nice because of the 3 day weekend. With a rotating schedule every 18 weeks gets you a week off. Good pay and okay benefits.

Cons

Rotating schedule is a drain on the body going between days and nights every 6 weeks. And working weekends for 12 weeks in a row could hamper plans with the rest of you friends that work normal shifts

Pros

Supervisory level people were well trained, make good decisions, etc. Hourly ranks for the most part great folks, some real PITA's.

Cons

Pay was below expectations, raises were pitifu, insurance was lacking but most of all upper management, plant managers, area managers were abysmal. No forwarding thinking, throw you under the bus to cover for their inadequacies, etc. Good old boys club. Plant manager in over his head protecting sub par managers, more worried about the troubles in his personal life than the plant. Guy couldn't be trusted, took credit for others ideas and blamed everyone when things went wrong. Typical of most of the "Carnation generation". The Mgt. Training program a hazing of new supervisors, to "separate the men from the boys" Really how 1930's.
