Pros

Decent pay, easy enough work- primarily drives and PLCs.

Cons

You will be working 6 days a week. You will do electrical and mechanical work. You will not take time off in your first 720 hours-or you will be fired. The reason for taking time off is inconsequential. 1970s management style, reprisals, and middle management incapable of defending their decisions to upper management, and instead, passing their consequences to employees. Supervisors will "beat their chest" as another electrician put it, which translated to, threatening to fire me for taking one day off, that I asked for in advance for an appointment and both supervisors agreed would be fine. After that, reprisals were hardly subtle. Scheduling is a mess, planned maintenance is effectively nonexistent, and down time between repairs will mostly be spent wandering around the plant, because the maintenance shops are for work and breaks only. There are 3 breaks, which maintenance follows as closely as production, 8a-4p shift - 10 minutes at 10am, 15 minutes at noon for lunch, and 10 minutes at 2pm.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Work/life balance.

Cons

Micromanaging. Management team has no idea what they are doing with their program. Adds pointless homework to feel good about themselves instead of letting us do our jobs. On top of that, lots of top down pressure, most likely due to private equity management up top.
