Vantaggi
Great pay. Great benefits. A decent amount of autonomy.
Svantaggi
Super HIGH turnover in mid level manager and other salaried employee positions due to the poor climate and culture put forth by upper management. This turnover has even hit upper management somewhat as well with the facility's general manager being changed out two or three times in the last five years. The bottom line is bar none the most important thing there and second to it is placating to the the unions. Speaking of, the IAM union employees are some of the most lazy, apathetic, and insolent human beings on the planet. The good ones are few and far between. Just recently their contract was renegotiated and the union is guaranteed a pay raise every year for the next three years with more time off. It's disgusting. Decisions are made haphazardly and hastily and the trickle down affect kills morale. Employees are promoted either by staying around long enough (not very long at all) to see those above them leave the company or by having an "in" with upper management (ie. they followed someone over from another company) despite however inexperienced and ignorant of the job they are.
