Pros

Some colleagues are genuinely dedicated and supportive. Opportunities for skill development, although they come with a catch.

Cons

One of the most concerning aspects is the perception that initial salary offers are intentionally kept low to highlight cost savings. Clear favoritism in promotions, particularly towards those who align themselves with higher-ups. Lack of transparency in decision-making processes. A culture that may hinder career growth based on merit alone. Furthermore, it's disheartening to observe that promotions often appear to depend on "sucking up" to specific individuals rather than merit or performance.

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
