Pros

People generally nice and professional. Nice work place with onsite gym, athletic fields. Some opportunity for international experience if wanted and you are in the right department. Benefits and salary average to good

Cons

Almost impossible to get things done as every decision requires multiple levels of approval. Management structure way too complex - too many chiefs. Organizational changes poorly communicated. Systems in place are out of date and overly complicated. No succession planning.

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
