Pros

Good money for entry level job. Working overnight allows you the freedom to listen to music. Union benefits even if they are garbage.

Cons

Terrible management. They will push you to your limits. They will continue to add more and more work that isnt in your job description until you are completely overwhelmed. They will throw you under the bus without a second thought. Seriously it's a horrible environment. The management operates as a click where they are all buddies and will take advantage of any ground level employee. They are also totally incompetent and almost none of them are good at their jobs. You advance in this company by sucking up to your superiors. Work performance means nothing. If you contact your union rep about an issue they will look for reasons to fire you. They will lie to your face without a second thought.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
