Pros

Great colleagues Good benefits Established company Handled Covid well for employees - employment protection, care packages etc.

Cons

To move up, you will benefit if you are German and/or Male Little to no understanding of "diversity". Still measure number of female employees as the key diversity measure. For Americans, this is archaic. HR serves other vendors of the company than the employees or the company itself. No central repository of career plan, ratings etc. Upward mobility is solely tied to networking and perceptions

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.
