Pros

Good benefits, working to change to a safer culture, at least at face value, only time will tell if the efforts are honest.

Cons

Management out of touch, not one of the management team started out on the floor. Very little empathy to the hourly employees commitments outside the workplace. Work life balance is non-existent, your time belongs to the company they do not care about your family or outside life. Your work hours can be change at minimal notice with no input or consideration to you or your needs. I would not refer a friend to work here unless they were desperate or I was willing lose their friendship.

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
