Pros
Almost livable wage if you can make it to journeyman status Union-mandated 20 hour week minimum Wonderful coworkers Benefits after 6 months
Cons
Management often uses intimidation to get people to do work outside job description Management is often lazy/disconnected from job they're managing and UNWILLING to learn or listen. Pay is barely enough to make ends meet. Takes SIX MONTHS for benefits to kick in. Stingy on OT, even if department is shorthanded Hard to move up if you don't kiss up, regardless of how hard you may work Will schedule 10 days in a row frequently Unrealistic expectations The rules often don't apply to everybody (favoritism)
