      Strong Culture - the Culture is that management bullies employees

      Labor relations specialist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They pay pretty well, decent medical benefits and 401k match, Union employer depending on which plant you work for.

      Cons

      Mandatory Overtime, Upper management protects supervisors who bully employees, medical claims aren’t handled correctly - they will close out your claim while you are still injured and tell you that you are “fine”. Dodgy incident investigations where they will pin unmaintained equipment failures on employees even though it’s because the company wouldn’t shell out the cash to fix the equipment properly instead of putting a bandaid on it.
