      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fairly decent wage and advancement opportunities. Other employees were great to work with, Overtime was usually available if wanted. During curtailments, clean up work was often available.

      Cons

      Long curtailments (1 month or more) is becoming more and more regular. No incentive for being a safe, present and reliable employee

      The company's strategy is to put people first during challenging times. The new management is focusing on investing back in the business - the right thing to do. Salary and benefits are above average.

      Cons

      At a manufacturing facility, sometimes, work can be overwhelming and stressful.
