Pros

I started with Silgan straight out of college. I was hired on as a management trainee and was paid to learn the technical and administrative side of can-making. I was then promoted to a production Supervisor. Less than 2 years later I was promoted again! My opinions: -Clean, safe place to work -Good compensation -Open door policy with management -Stable market = stable income -Someone looking to move upward in the company will have many opportunities.

Pros

It was a job. Some of the people are nice. I had a reverse commute. The employees had positive attitudes, non union.

Cons

Benefits, Pay, Workload. As a management trainee you are overworked and underpaid. Local plants do not pay your salary, it comes from corporate. Local plants will try to keep you in training status to get the free labor. Diversity is lacking, good ol boy network is alive and well. Lots of weekend work during peak season.
