Pros

Must be willing to work shift work, rotating. Over time last year was about 30% of total income. No mandatory overtime. Great benefits, 401k, Union, and Defined pension.

Cons

SHIFTWORK! Rotating shifts can be rough but if you work at a plant with 12 hour shifts you only work 14 days out of the month. Schedule is set up to provide 7 days off in a row each month.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
