Pros

Other hourly employees are great to work with. Pay is ok but only because of overtime. Very little weekend work.

Cons

Supervisors need to be "leaders" instead of "bosses", spend less time on petty write ups and more time being part of a team. Techs expected to take after hours calls to troubleshoot faults over the phone (without pay) but will be disciplined and docked pay for being thirty seconds late in the morning. Techs are expected to be "experts" in multiple crafts but pay level doesn't reflect this. Company claims to be "family friendly" but expects overtime with little or no notice. Time off for medical reasons or family emergencies is frowned upon.

Pros

Sonoco is a solid company with a conservative leadership. They are very calculated in all that they do and are relatively risk adverse.

Cons

As a result of a being a large company whose been around the block for over 100 years they are slow to change with the current trends. There are a considerable amount of "lifers" that do not look beyond what they have always done.

Pros

Money. Medical, dental, vision, life Insurance. 401k. Opportunity to advance. Yep.

Cons

Working many weekends, you can be forced to work overtime 12 hrs a day, 7 days a week if need-be. Working with some people who just don't give a turd and do the bare minimum. Growing distant from your family, growing old making money without enjoying life. Financial compensation isn't worth that, to me at least.
