Pros

A select few co-workers are great to work with and the attire is pretty laid back. They also provide company paid life insurance and STD/LTD for non-union employees.

Cons

There is little to no training after being hired, the pay is much lower compared to the market, several management employees don't even speak English, work-life balance is non-existant due to 10+ hour shifts and required Saturdays, 360 reviews, the programs the company uses are ancient, the insurance rates are sky high, and corporate is trying to force every plant in the country to operate by their policies/procedures/pay grades even though many locations have a much higher cost of living. Also - if you need to travel for training or relocating, you have to pay all costs up front and be reimbursed 2-3 months later! Not everything is about money and numbers!
