Pros

Pay is better than working at Walmart...marginally...

Cons

Company doesnt care about health and safety...they skirt COVID-19 regulations and when investigated get away with that too...inadequate tooling and supplies to do the job they require...Forcing overtime when my brothers and sisters are"furloughed" or laid off is inexcusable practice...especially in a "UNION" environment...15 years with any company in the USA should all but guarantee a 1st shift opportunity...this place is horrible!!!

Pros

Depending on the team you are in, it can be very flexible, and you’ll be working with nice people.

Cons

HR needs to step in more, they are supposed to set a precedent yet it seems like the higher ups in different departments actually set the expectations. Which can be toxic, and some managers clearly don’t know how to manage teams. HR seems to be a nice and fun department, but the rest of the company has lackluster reviews. Also, stop advertising a total rewards package to new hires when you need to work over fiver years to get some benefits and due to the merger they won’t actually get that package. Just raise your base salaries.
