Pros

Vacation, lots of shutdowns and benefits

Cons

Management only promotes their favorites. So it's very difficult so move up if you don't spend your breaks in the manager's office. Favoritism and nepotism are only way to get anywhere. It can even get you off the forced OT list. Started as a machine operator and shortly after I was forced to become a material handler without the pay. Was also forced OT as a material handler. Again without the pay

Pros

Still a place with great people, a focus on work-life balance, and great brands

Cons

The shift from Chicago to New Jersey has had a predictably disastrous effect on morale in Chicago.
