Pros

Good team lead which is restricted by higher up managers on what advancement opportunities are available. Decent work/life balance mostly.

Cons

Stuck in one position due to outsourcing to overseas contractors, and being on call and overseas contractors not understand when they're calling at 6pm I'm eating dinner with my family and I need 10-15 minutes to finish up or when they call at 2am, I'm not at the office and I need time to get ready and drive to office

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
