Vantaggi
WAS a good place to work, in late 2016 new dictator management ruined that. Good money if you wanna sell your freedom (hence the starting rate of pay trying to fish you in). Relatively safe work place for heavy industry, except for exhaustion, air quality and sanity. Finally a decent bonus program (hush money). If you like having a ball and chain around your ankle, this place is for you. No matter how much you do, it's never enough.
Svantaggi
No work/family balance. Company doesn't care about the (hourly) people that make the place run. No loyalty, you're just another notch on their bed post. There's a reason why they can't stay fully staffed. The union is weak, getting strong armed by the company, benefits are below average with a laughable retirement plan (might as well plan on working till death due you part). The plant is old, machinery out dated, "run more with less" seems to be the motto. Corporate doesn't support this plant much as it's one of the smaller plants, minimal investments except to help environmental complaints from the neighbors. Salaried staff are a bunch of puppets for the "managers", if you're not a puppet you'll be forced out, CYA mentality.
