Pros
Excellent benefits, professional and respectful treatment from management, good and comprehensive training, good system of P.T.O., excellent communication, great help from mechanics and technicians when needed. High value and focus on safety. It is the kind of job where you can show up and put in your time then leave work at work when you go home.
Kontras
Very monotonous work with no variety, periods of mandatory overtime both regularly during the week and occasionally on weekends depending on product demand; I worked about 64 hours per week over several weeks in a row over several stretches and compounded with rotating shifts, this left me burned out. There was also occasional frustration with the machines. In my department on my crew, there were some employees who slacked off and I had to pick up the slack more than I’ve experienced at any other job (though talking to people in other departments, this seemed particular to my crew than the rest of the factory). On feet during whole shift on hard surface, but a good pair of shoes with supportive insoles took care of this for me.
