Pros

Corporate office in Houston has made strides in creating work-life balance for employees Office morale is high, for the most part Very flexible, less stuffy environment, in recent years Nice salary

Cons

Benefits have gotten more expensive with less coverage over the years Certain managers are downright rude and more concerned with advancing their own career than the department they manage Small raises/eliminated bonus potential for all non-management roles at corporate office Some favoritism regarding which employees were able to work remote

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
