Pros
Consistent income. Pay was ok for the type of work. Plant manager was a good and reasonable guy. Small group of people. Low turnover rate for the most part. I received 2 raises while there for less than 2 years. Some others received 3 raises in that time. We often got free lunches. I would have stayed working there if i could've handled Illinois winters.
Cons
Safety was a concern. A couple of the long term employees played dangerous and inappropriate jokes on others. Seen people get burned by tongs and seat belts undone while people where driving forklifts. It's a hot, dark, and dingy job. Can't be good for your lungs no matter how much they say it's not unhealthy to breath in 10 hours a day. I wish they wouldn't let the men use the women's restroom but the guys were respectful. Wish they had better health insurance for how much it cost.
