Pros

Learning opportunities, consistent, good hours

Cons

Bigoted shop boss, constant bullying by management and coworkers, no representation from Human Resources. Racial and homophobic slurs regularly used by workers. My boss openly used racial and homophobic slurs. One of the drivers would goosestep across the yard and throw his hand up in a Sieg Heil gesture. Unacceptable. The worst environment I've worked on due to the nastiness of the coworkers and managers. The dirty and physically demanding nature of the work didn't bother me.

Pros

Supportive coworkers, good employee owned company with opportunities to be promoted from within. Just have to put in your time and provide solid work results via leadership qualities and strong KPI performance.

Cons

Tough Union environment to work in, and management structure is a little chaotic and inconsistent. Need to be very flexible, because policy changes happen quickly and often.
