Pros

Pay is the only pro

Cons

Forced up to 66 hours a week and the way the schedule is set up that can be 8-9 or even 10 days in a row of 12 hour shifts No life outside of work everyone who was married at their start is now divorced and you will also lose custody of your kids because of the hours If you're not white it's like you're walking on egg shells and there is always a target on your back. Had a co worker that was yelling and shouting about how he wanted to say the N word since its in music and another Co worker told him to go ahead and say it in front of management..he got upset walked out of the job and got 0 points for it...anyone else would've been fired on the spot..they tolerate this kind of behavior Workers are NOT treated equally 2 weeks vacation AFTER 1 year and not until year 5 do you get 3 weeks No sick/personal days They do NOT care about mental health They do NOT accept medical cards even tho it is legal in PA Constantly setting people up for failure They have informants on the floor who get away with everything Short breaks Management couldnt run the floor because they never have worked on the floor..they are clueless as to how the departments are run When it gets hot in the summer all Management leaves early without notice while the temperature in the hot mill while cutting liner is about 168°
