Pros

Not much, 401K plan is about the only thing good. They do have free bottled water and will buy some tools and boots. However, the pay is low. Most other mills are paying way more. There is a multiple-tier contract and you will be on the bottom. Others have pensions. Decent work schedules, and vacations. You will not have a pension, you will be stuck on steady 3-11. forget about vacations you will have to fill in for others and work shutdowns. When you finally do get some vacation the company will schedule it on the last week of the year. It's a HORRIBLE place, very Toxic. The good thing is they have lowered the standards to just pretty much be breathing.

Cons

Oh, where do you start, Low pay, horrible schedule. Yeah, you don't have to pay for insurance but it's really high deductible and not very good. Every contract is a strike and the company tries to take away more and more from hew hires and lower tier. Union only cares about the top-tier guys and if they can get more for them by selling you out, so be it. Believe me, if you can pass the Ramsay test you will do MUCH better anyplace else. Revolving door there 2nd tier guys last maybe 2-3 years. It's just so Toxic everyone burns out and moves on. It's even worse now that they will hire anyone

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.
