Pros

Steady employment with good benefits and opportunity for overtime. It’s a union shop which is a plus to me. Some performance pay.

Cons

Poorly managed. In the last few years the company has cut employees to the point that there aren’t enough people to cover for absentee workers, and vacations. Employees can expect to be forced over with little or no notice. An 8 hr. Shift can turn into 12 or 16. And weekends can’t be planned for family time since the company tends to schedule full or partial coverage almost every weekend. New employees have no pension plan.
