Pros
training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions
good company, stable
benefits are somewhat cheap
Cons
training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months
paid once a month, irregular times
on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines
work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run,
expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly
can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades
not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years
no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
