Pros

I had the opportunity to work with extremely smart and talented co-workers.

Cons

Long working hours, no consideration to add headcount no matter how big the company grows, no recognition, tough culture, work-life balance is non-existent, behind the times with systems. Managers and senior leadership are disrespectful and boorish to employees and do not care about employees well being, they only care if the work is getting done no matter at what cost. Not having up to date systems, made all the work extremely manual.

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.
