Pros

Good pay and benefits including flexi time. Most people are very nice to work with.

Cons

Career advancement is not based on skill and/or expertise but rather on how you are perceived... very image driven. As long as you stroke your bosses ego and keep management happy, you will do well. Hard work and loyalty are not rewarded, resulting in a highly demotivated workforce. A lot of micro management and a lack of trust. Current employee review process is a joke and does nothing for morale, resulting in high turnover of staff. A lot of processes need improvement. It’s time management wakes up and start listening to their direct reports.

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
