Pros

The group I worked in was very supportive of each other as we developed new products, processes, systems or procedures. Management was engaging and truly interested in feedback, suggestions or ideas from employees. You could ask questions or give answers all with the ultimate goal of what was best for our customers and company.

Cons

Union positions are driven by senority only. The most qualified employees were not necessarily the ones promoted or spared from a lay off which weakens the company as a whole.

Pros

work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

Cons

No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
