Pros

I had a rough first job to compare it to but I have no complaints. North Texas is restructuring departments, training, continuing on with SAP, and reverting back from SAP on certain components but the morale is not low here. I am very impressed because that says a lot about the leadership. The people - I'm one of those that if I can't do it for myself then I sure as anything will do it for good people. I can practice that here. The company seems really inclusive of all departments. Our sales team is the highlight but they work hard and the supporting cast is not sitting in a shadow but are recognized. I like the vision the company seems to have. It does things the right way and every superior I work with seems to share the same common goals and vision, even across departments. The equipment and building are up to date and taken care of. This is uniform from the parking lot to coffee machines.

Cons

Have not found any yet as I am pretty new. I work a little longer than your average banker but I feel it is justified for my position. I have not had an issue with feeling forced into working long hours and management has always been very understanding when emergencies arise.

A lot of things to do with food -- extra stuff to eat.

Cons

You have to get your bags checked before leaving the building.

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.
