Pros

Unionized above average wage job with incredible benefits. Four day work weeks consisting of 9.5 hrs +OT gives you a fair amount of rest time considering the amount of manual labour. When the time comes vacation is very fair. Stock contributions are also great.

Cons

At times there can be a lot of shuffling from nights to days and vice versa. For the most part only a one week schedule is presented at a time which can make planning things very difficult. Adequate labour is needed to meet the demands of employees when it comes to time off. Leaves of absences have been denied (you're entitled to a month per year) because of this. Some jobs can be brutal on the body, back and wrists especially.
