Pros

The best pro was the pay; and also I truly enjoyed the safety class in orientation... the safety guy was dedicated to his job, no non-sense, wants to keep everyone safe and make sure they go home at the end of their shift

Cons

Expecting you to know everything on day 1 on the machines you’ll be working on, even though you’ve never worked on machines like that; telling you to go faster and faster and hoping you don’t lose a finger, hand or arm because you’ve never worked on this type of machine; Coworkers butting in constantly while you’re being trained; preaching no bags or purses on line when you’re working, but everyone’s got a purse or bag on line; lovely coworkers that have an attitude and come up to you and scream profanities in your face...anger management, anyone???; Kid managers telling you that you ARE done with training because they say so; workers from another shift calling you a troublemaker because another department is wanting you, the new hire, and not a fulltime worker...that should tell you something.

Pros

The people that work at Silgan are GREAT! Very knowledgeable and helpful! Some of the best I have worked with!

Cons

Constant shift in company direction and a lack of focus. Upper management changed three times in 5 years. Health benefits were quite costly and the coverage was not the best. The company did not realize the value of simple things that would make employees more content with their positions.

Pros

Flex time is nice. Co-workers are supportive.

Cons

An old-boys school mentality prevails. Minorities and women are less likely to be paid equally.
