Pros

Decent pay for the work that I did, people I worked with were nice, my supervisor on the dry side where I selected was a cool dude that was always making work fun with his jokes and crazy personality

Cons

Extremely long hours, understaffed, night manager only thinks of himself, threatened frequently by night manager of being fired for making mistakes, night manager tells you at pre- shift meetings that you aren’t allowed to call out even if you have sick time, training supervisor over new hires is terrible as he disappears frequently all night long, no home life, never praised when you do good but as soon as you make a mistake you fear for your job

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
