Pros

The pros with this job are that your paycheck is steady. 40 hours per week guaranteed.

Cons

The pay is minimal. Hard to move up. Lack enough employees to reach the company's goals of 40% recovery. Sortline has enough room for 18 people at a time yet 2 crews have only been working with approximately 8 people or if a couple people call off the line is screwed you have everybody doing the work of 3 people without any additional compensation.

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.
