Pros

Decent wages and 4 on 4 off schedule when they dont force you in.

Cons

This place is run very poorly.. management thinks they know everything but never done the jobs them self.. Everything looks great on paper but doesnt mean it works.. try askin the "employees" sometime.. they make it work every day... duhhhhh. They couldnt manage a 4yr olds bday party.. have 21 machines and no parts.. but expect you to polish a turd into a diamond. Running the worst coolant in the country and pure garbage for oil thru the 21 machines that have no parts to fix when the garbage oil destroys the bearing.. GENIUS.. they never listen to the venders on how their products should be run.. cause SILGAN management knows best.. thats why edison plant runs like crap.. they need to stop tryin to cut every corner.. its the cost of doin business before its outta business.. how do you buy a half a million dollar machine or more and the company voids ur warrantee cause your running garbage oil thru it.. whats it gonna take to wake up and see the light!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean what kinda plant has a UPPER MANAGEMENT THAT GETS SENT TO ANGER MANAGEMENT TRAINING CAUSE THEY FLIPS OUT LIKE A SPOIL BRATS CAUSE THE PLANT DOESNT RUN SOME TIMES.. BUY SOME DAMM PARTS..added 8 million dollars to the plant in 2 years n running worse n worse numbers as the days go on.. Priceless cause the engineers know it all...

Pros

Pay for senior employees, takes 5 years to get to 100% pay. You start at 70% and no pension.

Cons

Supervisors are taught to be hostile, actual classes. They are trying to break the union. They are writing hundreds of write ups in my plant alone, so that they can get rid of the people who make 100% pay and that have pensions, and vacation time. This will save the Corporation money, now and down the road. They want to hire 70% workers for the first 5 years and no pension just 401k. They have wrote hundreds of procedures and this is how they are going to fire you. They are treating employees so bad that they actually put up signs stating no Firearms in Plant. You cannot use your cell phone, take pictures, record any audio, they don't want you to leave the building even though you don't get paid for lunch, and they have camera's that they claim are for security, you know like watching you go to the lunch room, or bathroom. Basically folks, don't come here we are under total lock down, and they don't want the outside world to know. They are willing to break the law, if it means saving money.
