Pros

Good benefits, decent pay, delicious cafeteria food. Flexible work hours for some (a few bad managers are clock watchers and heavily monitor their employees comings and goings).

Cons

No opportunities for training, development, or career growth. All opportunities are in Dusseldorf, Germany. Ridiculous Forced Ranking practice for annual reviews - yes, that practice you studied in Grad School that everyone learned is a terrible idea.

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.
