Pros

Great work environment. Management have open door policies to where you can express your concerns for safety, cost savings, etc. Do your job and follow the rules and you can move up the ladder fast from hourly to salary as a supervisor.

Cons

Time off accrues very slowly based on years employeed. Pay is lower than other competing industries, but channels are there to get raises/promotions.

Pros

The pay is typically better than the other plants in the area of the same type. Not difficult to move up from ground level to management with some hard work and effort. I've seen people go from line worker to lead to supervisor within a year or so. Insurance through the company is a good deal and there are a lot of options for coverage. Free onsite clinic for employees and their immediate family members.

Cons

The environment can be a bit hostile at the plant I work at. This is not due to a company policy or from the big wigs. It's mostly just the people that work there. The production and maintenance supervisors are aggressive in general and can make working there very stressful if you aren't one of the favorites. Favoritism is very big amongst management.
