Pros

Vacation is based on your age, not service years with the company. Benefits are good. Schedule is week on, week off.

Cons

Work/home life balance is non-existent. Way too much OT. Maintenance does pretty much nothing. Something in plant is always breaking or tripping off line. Plant management is abysmal. Staff morale is very low. Operations always gets blamed for anything that happens. BDEC is a joke and a terrible place to work.

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.

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