Pros

Decent pay for the area with a shift differential as well, really good Union contract which is renegotiated every 3-5 years

Cons

Depending on what production line you work on and demand you could get laid off during the holidays or, in my case, work mandatory 50+ hours a week for over a year straight. A little bit of the typical drama like not getting good training or help because the trainer decides they don't like you or you aren't trying hard enough. Lots of people just there to get a check and don't care about the quality of work they put out, even on medical and military products.

Pros

Compensation is competitive, though not exceptional. Many of the coworkers are supportive and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Management lacked professionalism and consistency. Communication was often unreliable, with delayed or nonexistent responses to emails and messages. Training sessions were frequently interrupted or started late, and there were no clear process documents or structured onboarding materials in place, which made it difficult to succeed in the role. I also experienced inappropriate and concerning comments during my time there, including remarks about hiring decisions that referenced race. This created an uncomfortable and unprofessional work environment. Overall, the lack of structure, accountability, and professional communication made the role challenging and unsustainable.
