Pros
Good pay (for me), salary + overtime + benefits, matched 401 K up to 4% or 6%, off on weekends except one Saturday out of the month.
Cons
*No structure. Not privy to sticking to the rules for everyone. Fixed culture, stuck in one way of doing things. *High theft, lack of honest record documentation for (logbooks, work orders for maintenance, fire code safety, Save My Life Records, and purchase orders procedures for costly raw materials). *Random homeless strangers would get access to the plant! *Safety Hazard Store Room built with plywood. This sometimes would get hit by forklifts causing the walls to shift and could harm someone really badly. *This is a NO SMOKE PLANT, but maintenance workers smoke in the building (even the electric room) and nothing is done about it once reported to the safety manager. *The backbiting and scornful management team, a toxic atmosphere in the management team each person talks about the next person and then pretends to be friends again. *The Plant Director and HR fired 4 salary managers with no warnings, no write-ups, or performance issues all within 2 weeks. *The Union protects the maintenance workers from getting the discipline needed for stealing, smoking in the building, or breaking other rules. *SuperIntendent was fired for putting people's lives in danger after turning on a machine that was being repaired. This machine was Cautioned off, Locked, and WRITTEN OFF for no one TO OPERATE! *Favoritism is at a high max, there are a lot of under-the-table actions that should be addressed here. *The HR staff at the time couldn't be trusted either and I was told this by the manager who hired me!
