Pros

Nice place to work for the pay if you don’t mind spending all your time there. You can make a lot of money working OT.

Cons

The new contract removed all bonuses. You may end up on swing and be stuck on it for a long time until you gain seniority. The swing there changes shift every 2-3 days from days, 2nd to 3rd then back and they do not even have to give you 24hrs to turnaround back to days - they may force you to work til 11am then have you come IN the next day at 3am. On this schedule you will also work 7 days straight every week then have 2-3 days off which feels more like 1 or 2 since you have to start back on 3rd every time. You’ll only get 1 weekend off every month. Some departments do not have swing and rotate on a 12hr schedule but you won’t know where you’re going until you’re already in orientation.

Maintenance and Operations Salaried Staff Beware

Business Outlook

Pros

Just show up. You have a job for life if your attendance is good.

Cons

Salaried Maintenance and Operations Staff Beware. If you have a skillset that is worth something, stay away from here. High turnover which equates to very inexperienced personnel. If you are somewhat intelligent, they will milk you for all you’re worth. You will wear many hats because they can’t keep people. You get to work along side Union employees who take full advantage of the situation. Everything becomes a safety issue when they want it to, and production grinds to a halt. They are constantly complaining and you get to listen to it everyday. During difficult situations they will sacrifice the salaried staff before anyone of the Union employees. With Covid they cut salaried pay by 10% and stopped contributing to the 401K. The raises are marginal, if you’re lucky to get one for the year. Meanwhile the Union has their contract that guarantees their raises. Everyone who isn’t on the floor will tell you how great it is, but they spend no time working with the personnel and equipment. Good Luck!
