Pros

You get paid more the faster you work.

Cons

The coerce you to not take breaks and to shorten lunches to try and hit their goals. The safe method they teach will never get you to the minimum goal to keep your job especially fighting against the known day to day obstacles you have to face. Many of the team members take supplements legal and illegal to get through the shift which makes them and the jobs they are doing around you unsafe. There is no end time you leave when the work is done. The managements favorite saying is “well guys you know fecal matter (nicely put) rolls downhill so if we get it you’re going to get it.”

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.
