Pros

Good pay and benefits provided.

Cons

Benefits for non-union employees are expensive. Management level employees not concerned with the development of the workers reporting to them as most I have worked with are trying to justify their existence within the company. A lot of workers (union and management) just putting their time in to collect a paycheck. Company talking points always changing, lots of flavors of the month programs that do not amount to much.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
