Pros

Pay is on the higher end of most nearby employers. Acceptable to start but lack of compensation for exceptional workers is not proportional to the amount of work they are doing compared to everyone else. (Multiple employees do 3-5x the workload regularly and overly relied on to keep numbers up while operating with skeleton crews. ) Great starting out. Clear decline the longer you're there and experience. Unique type of work. Was great for a while.

Cons

Lack of additional pay, low raises and poor criteria to determine it. Lost many long term and or high output workers that were critical. No attempt to keep them by offering more pay and took their work ethic to other employers who might value them more. Handful of people keeping things together are just another number and can and will be fired. Unequal workload among team and roles. Revolving door. Few tenured people left. Training takes 6 months and make up a large percentage of people at all times. Leadership has little to no knowledge of what they are over seeing and generally ineffective dealing with issues on the floor. Upper Leadership wastes money on stupid or unnecessary things instead of what we say is actually relevant.

Pros

Some of if not most people are friendly and supportive. Okay-ish benefits. Slightly better than the average I would say. Flexible hours for flex40 and salary people. In my particular case, they are very flexible when it comes to doctor appointments and kids' activities.

Cons

Emotional and mental damage from a toxic environment. Gossip galore and everyone is eager to point fingers or say "not my job". Managers who literally yell and curse at employees. Everyone is overworked and underappreciated. Sexism runs rampant. Communication between mangers, departments, and floor operators is non-existent. FAVORITISM EVERYWHERE! Certain people are treated differently because they are "in" with the right people in management. No one is treated equally. The machinery on the floor is old and falling apart.
