Pros

Being a union shop in the ag industry they must give 2 consecutive days off each week. Other dairies can work you 28 days straight. The insurance is good thanks to the union as well. The pay for the area isn't bad, but is starting to fall behind other manufacturers in the area.

Cons

Lack of training makes many things more difficult than they need to be. The scheduling is chaotic at best. If staffing is not where it needs to be they can force a person to work up to 4 hours of overtime. Over all moral is very low and upper management is a joke from a high school drama, and hold a severely low standard of professionalism.

Pros

Good health insurance, PTO, 401K, paid holidays. Building is absolutely stunning.

Cons

Not all of us were able to use the PTO. You had to work more hours in a day so that you could take PTO. Had little to no backup.
