Pros

Very safety oriented! The pay is also very good for the area if you don't have a college degree or experience in a specialty field (i.e. medical, control room operator, welder). If you are very forward thinking and safety minded there is opportunity for advancement. Great for any young guy without a family life!

Cons

A lot of paperwork to keep track of and a lot of double standards. The work can be extremely tiring on top of the rotating schedule (Dupont schedule) and graveyard shifts. All shifts are 12 hours as a laborer.

Pros

Interesting work with (some) hard workers. Serious place to get real experience. Salaried employees receive a large 401k match.

Cons

Place is held together by critical staff working much harder than others, but don't expect many raises. Annual adjustments do not match inflation. Managers do not understand technical skills that set their staff apart and struggle to argue for raises when asked, losing this talent within a few years. Experience always outranks expertise (helps to be old). HR/Operations collaborate to underpay their hourly staff, keeping process changes that affect incentive pay out of union negotiations for as long as possible. HR can barely run Salaried payroll and will threaten you if you question their math (even when they owe you money). HR refuses to address racism/white supremacy within their hourly workforce.
