Pros
For Union trades on the floor, the work is interesting and varied. You also have some of the best shop managers in the business shielding you from the ownership team. If you are not in the union, unless you enjoy top management screaming (literally) at you and pounding on tables...there is not much to say.
Cons
Unprofessional behavior on the part of ownership that has not been vaguely acceptable since the 50s. A facility that has been allowed to fall apart to a dangerous level. Little or no safety culture in a highly dangerous industrial manufacturing environment. Signed compensation contracts simply ignored without a twinge of conscience, A tragic OTD record that just keeps going. Verbal abuse, by any measure. Poor, reactive financial management leading to extreme hire/fire cycles that devastate good staff and leave those that survive disheartened and anxious.
