Pros

The plant is close to home. In general the salt business is steady, no wild swings like the automotive sector.

Cons

The company has been on a long term downhill run. Too many different owners all trying to wring more profits. The recent acquisition by Stone Canyon may well push Morton over the cliff of no return. Always the rally cry of needing to do more with less. Then there's the constant erosion of pay and benefits; pension gone, defined contribution gone, and healthcare costs go up. Used to be a good place to work.
