Pros

-Essity is a great company overseas, just awful in the U.S. -Good co-workers, and that's really it

Cons

-Bad management (worst I've ever worked under) -Bad benefits -Machines are literally falling apart with management not caring a single bit about actually fixing them -No work-life balance -Rotating shifts (days-to-nights/nights-to-days every two weeks) -Culture is awful -No avenue for advancement -The union is a "union" in name-only -Overtime system is terrible -As an operator, you do 80% of the maintenance work despite having actual maintenance that makes $10 an hour more than you
