Pros
-Medical benefits are free -Decent place to learn new skills as a stepping stone toward future career -Small staff, but not understaffed
Cons
-Forced into a union that only helps bad workers and values seniority more than performance -Pay increases are minimal and built into the union contract; once a year without consideration of performance -No disciplinary action for employees with poor performance (the write-ups are a joke and not taken seriously) -Dead end job -Laboratory personnel require the highest education and are paid the least -Forced overtime and must work holidays -Only one week of PTO until 3rd year of employment -Inconsistent schedule -Unsafe environment -All upper management is remote and only shows up at the plant when there are issues -Strong odor around most parts of the plant
