Pros

* Good benefits * Not high pressure * Only have to deal with maintenance/mechanical issues.... not expected to work as a janitor to "keep busy" if production is going well and there are no maintenance or mechanical needs.

Cons

* No paid sick days * Only 3 non-paid PTO days a year and then they are only applied at the rate of one per quarter. * Impossible to advance. To advance you are required to complete a computer based computer program. It hasn't worked since I have been employed there. Constant excuses as to why they cannot get it fixed. Even so, one employee completed the course long before I was hired and still has not been given the pay raise he was supposed to . Expect to remain at whatever pay rate and level of mechanic they hire you at.

Pros

Company and upper management are open and easy to speak too. Especially when others not around. In my time there; excellent work/life balance for other departments and employees but not mine. For example: sure a great perk was having the day after Thanksgiving (Friday) off to be with family. Yet that was a work day for me. Yet the next business day, you get to hear all the great conversations on how relaxing it was to be with your family, 4 day weekend etc.......

Cons

Not resigning sooner than I did. Once that part was done then all the great things I did while there and hard work ( 8 days a week) I was pulling became thank you. A lot of favoritism is there and the sad part is the pro's are also the cons. No matter how much you do or give of yourself...it is never enough. You will lose confidence and believe when you work 10 hours each day, rather than thank you, it is why didn't you work 10.5 hours ? Meaning never enough.
