Pros

Benefits were okay and I met a few strong personalities in lower management roles who had good ideas and strong integrity.

Cons

Tons of pushback when changes are suggested. Not taking necessary steps to train young entry level employees. When employees fail, no responsibility is taken by upper management. New workers are expected to be self-starters with little to no direction. In one instance, (which should be enough) manager allowed to over work and guilt her reports into not using vacations, focusing unhealthy workloads on specific employees that don't stand up for themselves, and emotionally manipulating them to protect their own position in the company. Technology isn't being used to bring their company up to speed with the competitors. Fired and provided no reason. Conversation lasted 3 minutes and was not allowed to check online system to verify leftover vacation pay, hours worked during the last pay period, etc... Personally dealt with multiple colleagues in tears because of their treatment at the hands of upper management.

Pros

- Decent pay because of union negotiating - Actual work was not too difficult, often busy - Totally allowed people to abuse the attendance system (only listed as pro, because if the environment got to you, you could call in without repercussion)

Cons

- Nearly daily basis were told we make more money and our KPIs are less than any of their other facilities - Favoritism - Complete your task and told to complete someone else's, never dealing with the individual that is under performing - Allowed harassment, verbal, sexual, and especially physical. Management and HR would even encourage it. - The sexual harassment allowed was like one of those bad VHS films you watch about harassment in the workplace. Except this was occurring in 2018 not 1988 - Allowed employees under the influence from the night before, to operate machinery (chew some gum they were told) - One employee was defeathering a goose one day in the facility, encouraged by our supervisor to continue. Supervisor finally gave in and told employee to stop after multiple complaints from co-workers.
