Pros

Pay is good even in non Union plants, lots of hours, most co workers are good, insurance used to be good

Cons

Underlying agendas good people just started getting fired left and right they cut the insurance in the same breath they told us the company made millions more than last year the mill runs almost 22 hrs a day so you get to do 10 hrs of production then roll up and clean up and after working 12 hrs a day for 5 days they ask for a weekend and recently training has become poor with a do it faster not right mentality making everyone job harder

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
