Pros

Pay was fair but it has taken a ”hit” since I was employed there. Some overtime available. Flexible shifts.

Cons

Long 12 hr. shifts. Little chance for advancement. Very poor management resulting in a toxic workplace. Proper training sadly lacking. The plant is full of hazards just waiting for an accident to happen (a minefield) and many have happened. Say that Health & Safety comes first but actions demonstrate the opposite. Keep hiring employees lacking the appropriate academic background and practical experience. High turn-over in staff.

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.
