Pros

Excellent pay for the job. Good balance of work and personal life (sometimes) Wonderful benefits for hourly production employees. Nice perks. (free liquor)

Cons

They need to learn to treat all employees the same. Discipline procedures need to be fair for everyone you can't punish one employee harsher than another in similar situations. Some of the management doesn't take into consideration your personal life outside of work. The union for the production employees could back us up A LOT better. Definitely show favoritism towards certain people over others.
