Pros

Full pay after 6 months, double time on scheduled off weekends, nice 401k match.

Cons

No way to advance through work ethic or performance. Have to be in the pocket of management and have grown up with everyone. If not from around here you will always only be a shiftworker. They will not give you any opportunity to better yourself and climb higher if not a local boy or girl. Union is non existent. Top USW reps only show up to make sure people keep signing up and at contract time and then still give away benefits.

Pros

It's hard work but it's satisfying.

It's mostly contingent workers now and low pay. Good pay and benefits if hired directly.
