Vantaggi
You'll be hard-pressed to find employment that offers a pension plan like this place still does, they'll also match a certain amount of what you put into your 401(k). For the last few years, they've given out profit sharing bonuses. Every year you do usually get a safety bonus, and you'll get clothing & boot allowances. The job is enjoyable when all parts are moving smoothly, and the pay is decent for the area.
Svantaggi
Upper management, more accurately, corporate, is seemingly unable to make concessions to what employees need or want. Most-notably, the company made 300% higher profits for FY 2022 than the previous year and yet gave a vastly inappropriate profit-sharing bonus compared to the previous year. We work 12-hour shifts on a rotating swing shift. This isn't inherently bad, it's part of the job requirement, but there are simple ways to tweak how the shift schedule works that would benefit essentially everyone who works shift, the shift workers have collectively suggested these changes but they aren't met with more than an immediate decline. Without writing a novel, the job itself is enjoyable, but management doesn't care where their profits are coming from. 300% profit increase doesn't come from thin air, it comes from all the people who kept working through COVID and also got COVID from working there where they never took it seriously. It comes from all the people who covered other shifts and stations they don't work in because of the amount of people who've called-in or resigned due to management's negligence.
