Pros

Most people are easy to get along with, in spite of the pressure to do more with less. I liked the twelve hour rotational shifts better than the eight hours that generally turned into tens @ 6 & 7 days per week. Pay was pretty competitive for the specified work positions. Paid birthdays!! (eight hours, only, regardless of shift hours)

Cons

Rule updates tend to be knee-jerk reactions to anything management has an issue with handling. Often times, people are expected to do jobs above their pay scale and, without fail, it goes unrecognized at times of promotional bids. Middle management does nothing to protect their subordinates & everything to pass the buck. Some even create a hostile work environment. Training, in all positions, consists of yelling at people and/or telling everyone what an idiot you are.

Generally positive but also disturbing

Pros

Free rein to work autonomously, speak freely, and suggest/implement improvements.

Cons

Corporate management seemingly has little long term business strategy and too many of the leadership team, in a certain business segment, demonstrate a viable grasp on taking care of business in the short term.

Pros

We were a union shop, thank God for that !! Pay was good, benefits were good, overtime unlimited if you wanted it .... But again, this is only because we were Teamsters .

Cons

Everything you could imagine horrible . Even though we were a union shop, they were always screwing with us ..... Management was the worst ever ....... It was micromanaged by corporate back east !
