Pros

Decent pay, that's all I can say

Cons

Really enjoyed going in at first, then started dreading each day. Here's a hint as to why the high turnover rate from new employees : they are treated like crap by the employees that have been there forever. If those people don't like their job, retire, then we don't have to hear you complain! Instead, it's easier to talk crap and treat new people like imbicles and put them down every chance you get. Seems like everyone has an attitude, is angry or has chip on their shoulder. That's from " management" on down. " Kid" managers have no people skills and that shows. People skills are ingrained in a great manager and obvious-- not the case here. Any problem spoken to manager is ignored or twisted. They say silgan is a family company, but it seems like the most dysfunctional family you don't want to be a part of.

Pros

Work/ life balance was good.

Cons

- terrible benefits - diversity was almost nonexistent - most of the day everyone was pretending to be busy - coworkers were anti-social and talk behind your back. - no matter if you slack off or work hard, the potential to move up is very low. - lack of talent primarily due to the above causing mgmt to hire a lot of temp workers.

Pros

Lots of overtime !! The older workers can refuse OT. They ask if you want it. You can make a lot of money .

Cons

Management is horrible. They treat you like a 10 year old. No respect at all from upper management. Lower tier managers , micro manage your work, they have no idea how to repair any machine but 3 will hang over you and try to tell you what to do. They are paper smart, Computer smart but they don't know what a 3/8 wrench is. They have never had their hands dirty !! EVER !! You are forced to work on holidays!!
