Pros

Union, good benefits, not physically taxing,.

Cons

Management plays favorites, some people are under a microscope while others can get away with whatever they want. Talk behind your back and have a tremendous us vs them mentally. Not a place for younger folks to develop skills and grow. A 23cent raise in a time of 8% inflation is demeaning. Aim high when you interview or you will take 10 years to work your way up to where others start.

Pros

Lots of opportunities from entry level to professional. Opportunities for advancement within the company. The overall atmosphere is one of a family vibe. Good people from management to contract employees.

Cons

Depending on where you work in the building the smell of the epoxies and paint can be overwhelming. Sometimes I would get headaches or nausea if I was placed temporarily in a department with strong smells.

Pros

Very easy job but can be monotonous. Still, there's room for advancement and often times you get to work alone or in small teams.

Cons

There's a constant very strong chemical smell throughout the manufacturing floor due to the heating of plastics and adhesives. If you are sensitive to strong chemicals you may leave with headaches some days.
