Pros

Good pay, Benefits, the union did some good, co workers were easy to get a long with. Get your quota and hang out the rest of the day. This review is only relevant to the building I was in ipb4.. other buildings have a different story

Cons

As a mechanic you have to go through training which can take 6 weeks. If you fail different projects of the training 3 times consecutively they fire you. A person below average should be able to pass with a fail here or there , but I did see ppl get fired in training.
