Pros

Good pay and benefits. Worked with some very nice people that were trying very hard to make the company succeed.

Cons

Extremely poor upper management that has no clue and totally disconnected. HR is extremely over protective of hourly employees and doesn't support supervisors even with proof by video surveillance of blatant wrong doing and nothing happens. Mechanics walk out on the job in the middle of the day and they keep their jobs. Hourly employees are perpetually late with zero discipline. They will make people with not even a GED a supervisor. The employees with extensive experience are ignored my management over the idea that because we've been doing it this way for years its the best and only way. Moral is in the toilet.

Pros

Supportive coworkers, good employee owned company with opportunities to be promoted from within. Just have to put in your time and provide solid work results via leadership qualities and strong KPI performance.

Cons

Tough Union environment to work in, and management structure is a little chaotic and inconsistent. Need to be very flexible, because policy changes happen quickly and often.
