Pros

Only worked a few weeks but so far it's great. This is my second job and I already have a 3rd family, very accepting. Everyone is willing to answer questions or lend a hand. At my other job I am a member of management and take my fair share of customer/ employee complaints, so my perspective is that this job is so much less stressful and enjoyable. Especially for the wage.

Cons

Communication between management could be better (and I don't mean using Nextels). The Union aspect adds more complexity than I thought it would, but I am still learning the ropes. Production expectancy does seem pretty low.
