The Pay is really good.

rotating shift is hard on you.

Pay is good benefits are good

Shift work is very hard

Compensation is above average. Management doesn’t overwhelm you. Insurance is way too expensive.

Work schedule is brutal. Rotating shifts.

The work itself is engaging and makes the days go by fairly fast. Usually only work 2-3 days at a time, with 2-3 off between. The pay at the higher positions is good and you get plenty of hours. There are usually quarterly bonuses as well. The operators you work with are good people. Union plant with a contract that renews every few years.

The leadership is the biggest problem. Very poor communication and borderline antagonistic decision making to spite the operators. Plant and operations leads are especially childish and vindictive. Contract rules are often ignored by management, who make it very difficult to do anything about it. They can schedule employees for forced overtime every week. They sometimes force operators to stay or come in for four extra hours with little to no notice. Shifts are twelve hours long, sixteen if you are forced over. The plant is open 24/7 besides for Christmas Day, so you will work holidays. You will work every other weekend. Swing shifts, rotating days to nights every two weeks. The heat is very bad during the summer and it is cold during the winter. No climate control besides for heaters and cooling fans. Fiberglass is very irritating to the skin.
