Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Paid time off. Holidays off or extra pay for working holidays. Good people and environment. Workplace incentives like free and discounted products several times a year. Honestly, this is one of the best places I have ever worked.

Cons

The swing shift schedule is not for the faint of heart. There are several versions of this schedule throughout the plant: rapid rotation is alternating between day shift and night shift after off days (ie day shifts, off, night shifts, off, day shifts, off, night shifts, off, etc.), slow rotation is 2 weeks of day shifts followed by 2 weeks of night shifts. Other areas have varying schedules, but those are the most common in the plant. It is very hard on the body and mind.

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
