Pros

Good benefits. Company is desperate for new people.

Cons

Schedule can be changed on you with less than 24hrs notice. The management team is more concerned with covering for each other than actual strives for excellence. Your ideas do not matter here. Most ground floor employees brought in are not properly screened. A pulse is about all that is required. Outdated equipment that causes downtime. Company is CHEAP and follows the "Band-aid to cure Cancer" approach to Maintenance issues. Older employees nearing retirement fear the current outlook and are afraid of lost benefits. Politics run the roost. It is more like high school with cliche mentality. Get anything promised in writing or it will not happen.

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.
