Pros

all the OT you will ever want. Scratch that: Way more OT than whats advantageous for the human body to handle as will begin to wear down quite quickly.

Cons

just about everything you look for in a company is not existent here. You know it's bad when your invited to an orientation of the plant, and the guy showing you around the plant tells you that he has been there 37 years, and regrets he is still there, and that you should probably not take this job. You then take said job even though multiple proverbial warning flags are staring you square in the face, because your thinking of the pay, which in hindsight is awful for the amount of work you will be doing. You have any family? trying to start a family? trying to chase that little dream you told yourself you would never let go, regardless of the job? Forget about it, because Graphic Packaging doesn't allow schedule flexibility, and will guilt trip you for asking for time off...even for attending your sisters wedding...so trust me folks...just keep scrolling down for those other jobs. It will all make sense one day. So, NO set schedules, as schedules can be changed up to two hours prior to your shift! so essentially you better have your phone on you 24/7! so much fun!

Pros

Pay is decent for the workload. Union is coming in.

Cons

Management makes false promises they do not keep. Copy and pasted all of the SOPs from other sites that has nothing to do with Waco site. No clear path of progression. "Flow to work" does not work.
