Pros

Managers do not wear uniforms nor carry weapons. The factory does not have armed guard towers nor electrified, barbed wire fences.

Cons

On the other hand... workers are seen as only a means to an end. The bottom line is production quota, and if you fall behind... there's usually hell to pay. This demeaning task is usually performed by a Kapo, who was once a production worker too -- but found a way out [by supervising other workers]. Very negative environment, where workers get "burned out" fairly quickly. High turnover.

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.
