Pros

The pay scale can be generous if motivated to advance within production departments. Pay for performance quarterly bonus. Inclusive work environment.

Cons

12 hour swing shifts. Forced overtime. Loss of experienced workers, who, are not appreciated. Overtime burden on motivated employees. Mid level managers out of touch with employees on the floor.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, World class Fortune 500 Company, but many complaints.

Cons

High turnover rate especially in certain departments. Frustrated managers punish the innocent as well as the guilty. Good employees are rarely recognized and many of the really bad ones never seem to get in trouble. I've seen some of the best temps get let go and some of the worst people get hired. Management very shortsighted and reactive in their response to issues and conditions.
