Pros

Great pay for industry and area Challenging, not boring work Stellar safety rating (my specific plant in Chatham, NY) Supportive management Frequent financial and safety meetings means everyone stayed caught up on Company news as well as safety alerts

Cons

Some of your tooling is in terrible need of work, a job could be labeled as .5 Operator but because of all the non-conformaces that need to be dealt with by the Operator prior to boxing (Flash, DOG, etc) it turns into a 1 or 2 Operator job but is still held to the .5 benchmark Invest in some new secondary equipment that is less than 30 years old Accountability for people that cause non-conforming product or damage tooling
