Pros

Great colleagues and sports and social events. Great opportunities to learn new skills and take on new responsibilities. Some degree of job security. Flexible working and TOIL. Benefits are pretty good and make lower salaries more manageable.

Cons

Focus in very much on profits over people. A culture of doing too much overtime and high stress levels is now accepted by most, and job satisfaction can be very low for those working hard but apparently getting nowhere. Very little recognition and reward for top performers. Such a shame.

Pros

Average pay for the area. Very good health benefits (low premium) and okay work life balance. Coworkers fairly chill with the one or two toxic person. Opportunities to cross train and learn new skills if that is your desire.

Cons

Workload uneven between shifts depending on shifting prioritizations on batches. Dead end, no route for career advancement. Cross training is a stopgap measure to cover for department personnel shortages.
