Pros

The people are pretty great. Not any of management, but the other operators and maintenance hands (the ones the plant manager hasn’t laid off) are about all this place has left. This used to be a great site to work at, even during the hard times it was still a great place to be.

Cons

Current plant manager hates operators, tries to make employees lives miserable. Cuts the yearly bonus to ensure he receives his. Cuts all overtime. Demoralizes operators daily. Lays off maintenance and puts even more work on operators. All of the cons would be fixed if the current plant manager(C.E.) was to leave. The quality of work life is absolutely squashed by the plant manager who does not care for operators and maintenance, yet these are the people that keep this place running.
