Pros

Pay, hard working employees in the plants, opportunity to work with a large company.

Cons

-Unwillingness to install automation to solve basic employee issues and to stay competitive with cheaper competitors. - Disconnect of some members of Leadership and the employees that keep the place running. - Could really be a really great place to work but unfortunately morale has tanked. - Top talent has left or is leaving to find sustainable opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

The ONLY good part is the Money

Cons

Everything Else. They don't care about your health. Management won't spend to money to clean and fix the ventilation so you're stuck breathing in chemicals all day. The don't care about your family. 12 hour days/nights, Mandatory to work every other weekend, Overtime on the weekends that you should have off. Work every holiday except Christmas. The HR Department is a joke. New Management is a joke. It's sad that St Paul isn't going to figure it out until it's too late.
