      Pros

      Very nice co-workers (most). Great holiday, vacation, and personal time off (currently but changing). Challenging work.

      Cons

      No training or very little. Younger workers given more opportunities, advancements, training, less likely to be laid off. Handbook rules not applied to all employees consistently. Supervisors gossiping about current employees to co -workers. Everyone apprehensive of being laid off. Wages frozen. Overworked/under paid. Jobs being outsourced to India. Current employees required to train India workers to do their jobs. All accounting, HR, and IT jobs are being outsourced. Good workers let go while questionable workers retained. All under the guise of who is a so called team player.

      Pros

      Good benefits, easy hours 8-4:30 mon-fri. Boot and clothing allowance, good manager and supervisor. Work load is not to bad depending on the day or what has been going on that week. Great safety program. Work load is alright throughout the year expect for harvest.

      Cons

      Working at a shuttle loading facility (average 40-50 trains a year). The trains come in at all hours of the night and day and in all kinds of weather. Trains come during the holidays or on weekends often at the last minute (which happen back in march only had one full weekend off that month). Cant plan anything ahead and if you want to take vacation planned to be out of the state or out of the county or else you will get called in. Mangers have no control over the trains or even how many people we can hire ( only 6 operations guys now). The grain merchants have the call on all of that which is not right. When a train is coming it can change at anytime either it gets switched or it gets delayed and you have to stay home and wait. So the work/life balance is getting worse many other elevators have a high turnover rate in the operations side cause of trains and upper management does not caring about us ops guys. We cant hire anyone for operations cause of being inefficient which is B.S. if you working at your max why not hire more people to cope with the work load and make your guys happier? Also elevators are closing here in Nebraska and Minnesota its the smaller ones but would not be surprised if some of the bigger ones close or even get sold to other companies.
