Pros

1.) The camaraderie you build with the guys on your crew. 2.) Nightshift, not a lot of micromanaging so you’re able to work without looking over your shoulder. 3.) Breaks were longer as long as your work is all caught up.

Cons

1.) The Union is absolute trash and nobody seems to help when it’s needed so the Union dues you pay is just for their getaway trip they take to another city. 2.) Upper management is trash because they ask so much of the operators but give less reward. 3.) You get paid the same as someone who just got hired off the street. If you know more than one job, you’ll work more than the average joe. 4.) the 8-hour guys on both night shift & day shift know a lot but don’t care to train the newer guys so everyone is kind of just figuring stuff out. 5.) the training is trash. 6.) the communication is worse and nobody is on the same page. 7.) Getting your certifications are hard especially when the people who know the job don’t want to certify you cause their lazy
