Pros

one or two more dollars/hr than competitors right now. generally excellent supervisors and coworkers doing the best they can with the situation they're in.

Cons

dishonest recruitment ads-currently, almost all departments are working one or two mandatory Saturdays a month, with rumors of more after thanksgiving. I've never been so micromanaged in my life. I haven't been spoken down to like I have in some instances since elementary school, and some members of management/bureaucracy have had similar attitudes to their public elementary school counterparts. I've never before been told to push a broom to look busy, or seen so much emphasis on finger pointing over problem solving. None of those problems are everywhere always, but they are very widespread and ingrained in the company.

Pros

Good benefits, company values, and employees are considered when big decisions are made. There's opportunities for labor share and travel to other locations. It is family owned and while we don't see them often, they make you feel seen and that you matter. There's a nurse who is easy to talk to and actually cares. There have been a lot of changes in HR but its for the better. Lots of opportunities to learn new things and grow. We also got a new parking lot which was much needed since the plant has grown.

Cons

Mandatory overtime on Saturdays, but has gotten better. Not much visibility from the safety department on second and third shift unless its early afternoon on second shift - or - the last couple hours on third shift. There's four safety specialists here and they all mostly work during business hours, so unless you catch them before they leave its difficult to address anything. There's a safety committee but it can be difficult to get an actual person from the safety department because of their working hours.
