Pros

A lot of overtime and pay scale is good. But prepare to put 120% of your energy into the plant work force. Employee very helpful and been there for 30 plus years with the transition of Campbell soup being shut down. I can see it in theses old timer toughing it out until they retire so they get their pension plan.

Cons

Job title is mechanic, but your the operator, quality, and mechanic. Machines breaks down then you fix it while operating other machines and get those quality checks every hour. Felt like I was doing three person job. Very olddddd building and being told the water is non potable.

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.
