Pros

Pay is great, and that is honestly the only pro. It’s the only way they can keep any production employees.

Cons

Way too top heavy in the management. They expect you to do your job with broken equipment, yet they expect you to work safe. It doesn’t work that way. In order to do your job safely and efficiently you need the proper equipment. HR is a joke, they side with management every time. As does the so called “union” that you pay your dues for every pay check.

Pros

great pay housing allowance pays for health benefits such as gym great for your resume great employees and employers

Cons

sometimes if your fellow co-op takes off the work load can pile up wished there was more projects but the ones I had took a while so it makes sense rarely allowed time off although that changed after new co-ops came in they didn't allow us to participate in mill activities because we were hired through SRI and it's a union mill.

Pros

Not horrible physical demanding. You get a lot of breaks. Ok wages starting out with the chance for raises every months.

Cons

The hours. Minimum 4 twelve hour shifts a week and some a mandatory 5th. You don't have time to see your family.
