Pros

Pay is good for the work that is done. Over time is paid for anything above 40 hours in the week and this contract has double time for Sunday even if Saturday was not worked.

Cons

When hired 10 years ago, was told college and education were supported by the company. However found out when trying to further my education the college courses would not be covered by the company, even though positions were posted within the company that met the courses requested.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
