Pros
-Generous PTO policy given from union contract (doesn’t apply to all unions) -met some really cool people that care a lot about their work and their job and the company
Cons
- If you’re in the union, there’s no chance of getting merit based raises so everybody gets the same raise per the agreement. - Poor management who can’t keep anybody accountable and has ruined the moral for everyone who cares about the company. - Upper management isn’t held accountable for anything and instead all of the workers on the factory floor get yelled at and blamed for their mistakes. Program management will berate you in front of everyone during program reviews and get away with it. - You want to report a problem to HR? Good luck because they don’t exist. Not only are they not helpful, they’ll spend most of the time forwarding your email to another HR representative because it’s not “their” function - the company is filled with people who openly milk time, don’t do work, play games, and sleep yet there’s no repercussions. Legal is scared to fire people because they’re afraid to get sued. - Promotions are rare and are dependent on nepotism, you know the union leaders and manager well? You get promoted even if you’re qualified for position at all. It really seems like all good workers get more work and just a slap on the wrist. - it seems like it’s Corporates plan to slowly shut down site by site. The company has been going downhill since the merge with Harris
