Pros

There are no shortages of opportunities to expand your job skills if you are salaried. Somewhat less for hourly, but that has more to do with the union than willingness to promote. I found the union pretty easy to work with if you are willing to work with them. For the area, pay is good, though one can go to Milwaukee and make 30% more. The benefits are phenomenal.

Cons

Big,plodding organization that remains inbred in places because some long-term employees dig in their heels. The divisional management sometimes does not provide adequate guidance. I had both good and bad in that regard during my 8-year run. I would still be there had an opportunity I could not pass up not appeared.

Pros

If you are okay supporting a business that is focused on building wealth instead of developing skills and business understanding of objectives, then you will fit right in as long as you learn two important phrases "Great idea boss" and "Yes sir, I will carry out all of your plans so you will be recognized by upper management". DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!

Cons

I have already posted a con, but noticed another con that other posts point to. I read about disappointment of no remote work anymore. Remote work is difficult; you have a hard time building collaboration, teamwork and trust in a remote situation. But as I look at myself, I am on-site and love coming to work - would rather be around my team and have a constant pulse on the culture where I can address any issues immediately. Ask yourself, other than the loss of commute time and being in the comfort of your own home - why do people prefer to work from home. Many times, it can be due to avoiding the stress and anxiety that exists at work. Now ask yourself, what would make people want to be in the office versus at home. Whether you are remote or in person, not wanting to come into the office may be a sign that you are not happy and lacking fulfillment from your current circumstances.
