Pros

PCA bought the company I worked for and after about a year they gave pay increases to most of the people at our plant. That's the best I can say.

Cons

PCA closed the plant I worked at for "business reasons" they claimed. Our plant was not originally a PCA plant and that is why they closed us and not one of their other plants in the area. People with 30+ years at this plant lost their jobs. They kept some people and moved them to other plants and these are people who should have been laid off.

Pros

Men get all the breaks otherwise there are no pros

Cons

PCA took a bad company and made it worse when they bought Boise. Good ole boy network is alive and well, the hidden pay gap is huge and to add insult to injury, those on the lower end of the gap do all of the work, while the good ole boy cronies give each other 20 percent raises behind the scenes. I accidently found proof which made me sick after working 80+ weeks for nothing.

Pros

Fair salary. Good working conditions. Good 401k.

Cons

Salary groups are too thin. Hours are exhausting. If you are not a member of "the good ole boy group", you will never be given opportunities to advance. No matter how hard you work.
