Pros

depending on department/shift good and fun coworkers to be around, if you want to push a button and move metal from bin to machine to bin, for 8 hours then good job for you

Cons

upper management is awful, departments don't do their job causing other departments to do more work than needed, pay is respectable on the lines but other departments dont get paid as much as they should, note: imo this is a nageative but others may feel different-we are currently on 8.5 hour shifts with a 30 min unpaid lunch, so instead of 9-5 its a 9-5:30

Pros

Great benefits, good schedule, knowledgeable co-workers and management, and good work/life balance. Also was given a generous severance package when unexpectedly laid off.

Cons

Was told during initial hiring process that my position was secure and I didn't have to worry about potential future lay-offs but 6-months later was part of a massive lay-off due to changes in the economy/political climate.
