Great workplace

Pros

Flexibility, high pay, readily invests in talent and is keen to keep people. The company is fairly stable and works hard to bot have to layoff people during harsh financial times

Cons

Compartmentalization of employees can cause you to be isolated from other cool parts of company. Drive strictly for investor dividends is a bit of a turn off.

Pros

All the overtime you could want, there are some decent workers and supervisors okayish pay

Cons

Some leadership will work you harder than what you're paid for and they keep piling more and more on you till you wanna quit. Very hot in the summer, the union is more for the company than for the workers; bad contract, no doctors notes, no sick time, no paternity leave for union workers . They act all ergonomic but when you show them something that's clearly not ergonomic they don't try to fix it. The pay is good but not good enough for the work or the work environment. The management and lower leadership roles drive away good employees and and the union keeps the bad employees around. 58 hour work weeks and a 5 minute break between 5 to 7 am then you have to wait till 9:15 on first shift for a full break.

Pros

Everyone had plenty of factory experience and everyone was cross trained to make up for the lack of employees. They paid fair and expect hard work from everyone.

Cons

The lack of people is a double edge sword. If a crisis came up then we literally had no coverage. Management would expect you to break your back to pick up the slack and not offer any solutions. Thankless job to say the least.
