Pros

Consistent work, OT pay, every other weekend off

Cons

This job is dangerous. We break down and recycle automobile batteries. The chemicals released from this process are not healthy. Our families will probably file for compensation after we die like those Camp LeGune commercials that come on late at night, and make no mistake, the company makes MILLIONS since not many are willing to take the risk. But the worst part of all is that we have an office in Minnesota where the guys do the exact same jobs as us and they get paid $37 per hour while we only make $20. Huge slap in the face. The union is a joke because they have a “no strike” clause in the union contract so we can’t even fight for equal pay.

Pros

Salary 20-30k higher than local manufacturing companies. Benefits are close to 98% covered by the company. New Occupational Health Physicians on site to track and monitor exposures and fitness for duty which shows they care about the health and safety of their employees. Tuition Reimbursement Company prefers to promote from within

Cons

Required to wear a respirator (Not easy in the Florida Heat) and required to participate in monthly blood draws (Not easy if you are not a fan of needles)
