Pros

Good benefits. Most co-workers were hard working, diligent and team oriented.

Cons

Plant leadership makes major negative snap decisions and discipline is not given on an equal basis; older workers are not treated well and it is very obvious. High turnover due to frequent firings and company demands to terminate contract staff. Younger workers were allowed numerous and significant mistakes without a warning and had much time where they weren't required to work, while older workers were severely disciplined for the most minor infractions.
