Pros
Way back when, the pay and benefits were pretty good. People who were on the same level as you were great to work with.
Cons
Ok, so it has been awhile since I worked there, but I gave them 17 years of hard work. The factory is not a place for anyone over 55 and those not physically fit. It can be pretty tough. Office jobs are only for those who like a good game of politics and back stabbing. And there was a definitive line between the office and the factory - “us or them”. Sad really. I worked both sides of the wall and never could understand it. After I was let go for lack of work, I heard that many of the employees that had worked there for 10 or more years (aka vested employees) “disappeared”. New employees were not eligible for the pension benefit. So the more hard working and talented people were gone. What was left,was…. I’ll let you fill in the blanks.
