Pros

- Compensation - Benefits (once you become eligible for pension)

Cons

- Not open to change or new ideas. Management acknowledges this and does nothing - Promotions are questionable, movement up because they like you or you have been with the company for a long time, instead of skills and experience - People who have been with the company for a long time and wants things how it was long ago - Silos, no team work with other departments, so bad communication, lots of work to fix something simple, wasted time and effort, complaints of being busy - HR manager for packaging, needs to improve her people skills since she is suppose to work with people - Management don't follow their own policies and make exceptions - They say work life balance but really there is none

Pros

There isn't a difficult job in the building. The pay is good for the area, especially since most of the positions don't require any specialized training before hiring in.

Cons

Some of the chemicals used throughout the plant, will cause irritation. Some on your skin, some in your airways. Mandatory overtime is the most annoying part of this work environment. The work schedule is 4 on, 4 off, however, you find out late in your shift on your 2nd day working if you will be forced any overtime during your days off (you can be forced up to 2 of your 4 days off). There are also conversion and maintnencance days that are mandatory overtime, in addition to the forced production overtime days. While these days add a nice chunk of change to your paycheck, they make it extremely difficult to plan ANYTHING.
