Good company to work for, but bogged down by petty union negativity
Pros
- Lots of responsibility right out of college - Global company, well known industry - "Competitive" starting pay -
Cons
I have never seen a more entitled, whiny, group of adults than I've witnessed with the bargaining unit. Society to thinks millennials are the most entitled generation, but man baby boomer union steel workers give them a run for their money. "Fair contract now" How about "Fair salary now"? Union healthcare and pay are way better than the salaried side. It AMAZES me operators who sit on their phones all shift can whine about "unfair pay" while they make 100k+ a year and have one of the best healthcare plans in the country. On the contrast, a salaried engineer with more responsibilities than button pushing makes less pay, has worse healthcare, and gets treated like scum compared to the union. The salaried bonus is a joke compared to what the bargaining unit gets. Fair contract now? Give me a break, you don't know how well you have it.
