Pros

Great pay and benefits FOR CSI Employees, company takes care of there own. Great for learning new skills

Cons

Rotating schedule, work weekends & holidays.... REALLY hard to get hired on from Adecco temp agency. Expect to be a temp for over a year or more while at the same time cut if the economy takes a dive. $15 flat rate whether rotating grave, swing or days. CSI has for some years now depended on temporary employees staffed from Adecco to do most jobs that are considered grade 3's while focusing on hiring electricians & maintence workers from outside. I have seen maybe 3-5 job hires for operations posted in my year here and a hiring freeze in my last year before we were cut temporarily. I came back expecting to get hired on right away as was told but soon found that misleading, only wanted the experienced temps back so as to not hire new ones they had to train from the ground up. Most mills run really lean and if your relief calls off your doing a double shift regardless of plans or exhaustion. They make you waive breaks and lunches before you enter the mills and if you don't sign waiver they don't hire you, meals are to be eaten whenever you find time. Everyone enters the mills hopeful to get hired on soon but upon a few weeks they really regret it when they hear how long it takes and how much work there putting in for profits they'll never share or benefits they won't see. In short Adecco cheap labor to keep CSI profitable.

Pros

Company has profit sharing and stable employment. Promotions are not handled fairly

Cons

Many of the middle managers treat people poorly. Promotions are not handled fairly and it is hard to advance unless you are someone's favorite
