Pros

First the people are great and they take time training and make sure you don't feel left behind. It's inside and climate controlled with a cafeteria open weekdays for breakfast and lunch. You get a whole entire week off every month giving you 12 opportunities for a trip, vacation, or time to do projects at home. Great benefits with good insurance, 401K, and even a pension. They want you to grow and advance your career and attempt corning if you have the ability and want to advance they are fully involve and will give you some advice and help. There's always overtime slots open so if you need extra cash or just like to work you can and it's not mandatory. Finally they pay goid.

Cons

Everywhere you have worked has cons, and corning isn't any different and the number 1 con is probably the swing shift. Most people don't have any issues with it but everyone gets aggravated sometimes. It's a Dupont schedule so there are for shifts total and for example your schedule would be 4 nights then 3 days off, 3 days then 1 day off, 3 nights then 3 days off. and finishes with 4 days then 7 off we work from 6:45 to 6:45. Some people can't handle it and they find another job.

Pros

Great benefits: Day one health insurance, profit sharing, 401K and pension plan.

Cons

This location is a startup venture and has lots of details to work out to become more efficient and reliable. Advancement opportunities are very slow. Construction and infrastructure improvements are still in progress. There are a lot of PPE requirements due to the complexity and hazards on the job. The 12.25 work hours with shifting two weeks on day and two weeks on nights is very hard on the mind and body.
