Pros
You can make some ok money if you sacrifice your social and family life.
Cons
Used to work at Amcor in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and gave nearly 10 years to the company. After several years you begin to realize that their corporate model is to continually trim your benefits and compensation, while telling you how they’re supposedly watching out for you. The management, while they had some good people here and there, are powerless to effect meaningful change on behalf of the shop floor people. They act like they listen to your suggestions, then ignore any sort of meaningful change or reform and do what they want to do corporately anyway. Even the bonuses had random criteria attached to them so the company could say they offered things like “gain-share” or “incentive bonuses”, but made it very difficult for people to actually qualify for the payouts. Pay. Your. People. They preach a lot about a great culture, but it’s incredibly toxic in reality because they don’t listen to their people. It was not worth the money to have my soul slowly drained out after year upon year of working overtime, a horrible rotating schedule, and having my compensation and benefits reduced annually.
