Cons
In Jackson's plant there is an underlying fear of plant closure that grips the experienced workforce due to recent major investments in sister plants and a minimal amount of spending there. Conversion of its workforce structure stunts progress. Very unprofessional Union leadership. Lack of experience and supervision on "off" and "weekend" shifts. IT department is lackluster. Understaffed. Forced overtime. Potentially dangerous jobs where people have been seriously injured.
