Pros

Has a UAW Union and the new leadership works with them. Base Pay is 37K for Non-Tech production positions, 46K for Technical positions, and 54k for Skilled Trades (Maintenance). Paid time off is 3 wks after a year, 4 after 5Y, and 5wks after 10 years. Insurance for family: Premiums are $147/month $500 deductible & $1,750 Max out of pocket per year. Great overall benefit package thanks to the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Cons

Unfortunately the make production workers go through a temp service to get hired Full time. The CBA only allows for 15%, but there's no set time to hire those folks after they come in. Lean head count forces a lot of weekday overtime. Both cases seems to be long term non cost effective. It also frustrates the Full-time people as well.

Cons

Good ole buddy system. Extremely high turn over rate Low pay,if not skilled trade Don't let Support Tech (Skilled Trades) do what they were hired for, always want to just ban-aid the problem not fix it.
