Pros

I can't think of any pros other than a handful of good people that still for the time being work there.

Cons

Backwards thinking. High Turnover. No Recognition for effort. Every Man for Himself attitude. Un-Qualified Leaders/Managers/VP's.

Pros

Great wages and overtime opportunities. Room for advancement into apprenticeships or management. Great plant manager.

Cons

Some operators are grumpy which can make the workplace feel negative. It takes around 5 years seniority or more to get an apprenticeship.
