Pros
Good pay. Ok benefits. Good training. The company as a whole treats their employees well.
Cons
The schedule has no flexibility. A touch of favoritism and racism amongst shift managers. Disorganized and unfocussed roles.
Advice to Management
Consider offering different and/or flexible schedules, you will retain more employees. Working both days and nights is unhealthy and unnatural.

Pros
The people you work with.
Cons
Top executives are a joke. They take in millions of dollars in bonuses but claim there is a loss each quarter and then tries to take it out on the employees through a garbage contract offered to the Union. The losses are claimed to be from maintenance issues and the cost of huge new projects that haven't panned out. The executives came up with and approved this projects that haven't worked out but they want to take... away from the hard working employees to pay for their bad decisions.

Linda Massman needs to go. Offer the union a good contract or offer to let them keep the contract they were and still currently working under.

Pros
Company benefits and pay are above industry standard for many roles
Cons
Organized chaos. Changes made are not necessarily fleshed out completely leaving the lower level employees to pick up the pieces. Morale continuously remains low due to these poorly orchestrated and implemented changes.
Advice to Management
Listen to employees at all levels. The company would be more profitable and would attract quality employees looking to do a great job.
