Pros

money is decent, cleanliness matters, proud of dial products

Cons

went through : "downsizing",which made my job ten times harder, yet more management was hired, worker bees aren't being hired as quickly, pay for skill system, which includes filling out papers to prove you can do the job you're already doing, plant has run 6 and 7 days a week for the past 22 yrs

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
