Pros

The pay is better than a lot of the same positions in the industry. So if your bottom line is about the bottom dollar this would be a good company for you.

Cons

The company does not care about management employees. If you are not in the union, then you’re not worth their time. They will work you without a thank you and expect more out of you than is possibly achievable.

Pros

Smaller feel, good for prioritizing family and life outside of work. Not too competitive between co-workers. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

On the smaller side means less opportunities and more waiting for roles to open up and advance. I saw a lot of people leave for better opportunities.

Good opportunity to make good money through constantly available overtime.

Cons

12-hour swing shift leads to abysmal work/life balance.
