Pros

The ONLY good part is the Money

Cons

Everything Else. They don't care about your health. Management won't spend to money to clean and fix the ventilation so you're stuck breathing in chemicals all day. The don't care about your family. 12 hour days/nights, Mandatory to work every other weekend, Overtime on the weekends that you should have off. Work every holiday except Christmas. The HR Department is a joke. New Management is a joke. It's sad that St Paul isn't going to figure it out until it's too late.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
