Pros
Half-decent pay rate for an economically-depressed area; but only if you are single without children or married and not the primary wage-earner. Even at that, the pay does not justify the workload and conditions of the job.
Cons
Extremely poor employee relations. Complaints, concerns or suggestions are largely ignored. "Corporate" team does not care at all about production staff. Seniority system is pretty much ignored and useless here; despite being a union shop. No raises in sight, yet pay was actually reduced by 5%. Terrible health insurance; extremely expensive with low coverage. 401k is offered but company does not match a single penny. An excessively burdensome attendance policy, especially for parents (we all know how situations and emergencies with children can arise unexpectedly). Company continually pushes more production and more responsibility onto workers to "make the company profitable" without any kind of corresponding compensation, or hope thereof. Too many "Top Dogs" it seems; who just throw scraps to the "mutts" that earn them their cushy jobs and salaries!!!
