Pros

flexible schedule, clear pay structure, training was outstanding, constant evolution of market.

Cons

A bit behind the curve in technology. very dishonest middle management, cut throat, if you have a poor middle manager, you have no access to assistance, retaliatory environment. A lot of games played if you are not looking....like trying to take advantage of new guys ....always. Each OpCo is their own. So my experience could be very different than another. If I had received 1/4 of what I promised I would not be taking the time. They handled COVID horribly. Let 30 percent of the entire corporation go and did not allow sales force to work remotely. If you ever make it to a meeting.... notice the number of new hires vs the number of retirees. That will be a questions I ask all potential employees going forward

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.
