Pros
- You'll make a lot of money coming in the door. Most of this will be through overtime hours, which you'll be working as you sign off on jobs throughout the plant. - The business is growing, and the plant is union, so you have very good job security. You can pretty much stay until you quit or get fired after several warnings.
Cons
- There is no work/life balance for production or maintenance workers. You work every Saturday and about every other Sunday. You'll be forced to do 12-hour shifts when you don't want to. Juniors (people with the least amount of time in the union) can be forced to work 70 to 80 hours a week, which causes a lot of new hires to quit in their first three months. - High turnover in management. New people will come in, and by the time they finally get their systems and processes in place, they leave. The next person comes in, gets rid of all their predecessor's programs, and repeats the cycle.
