Pros

Good wages and quarterly raises Serviceable benefits package

Cons

It's not surprising for a multi-billion-dollar corporation that depends on its labor force to be deeply anti-labor in culture. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rockford, IL may be the only unionized site in the country. Shop floor workers are functionally lower-class citizens, and we're treated/spoken to as such. Our input is not sought, let alone considered. Safety is not a priority, unless management or EH&S can somehow lay the blame at our feet. Our equipment is substandard and poorly maintained. Our work instructions are often woefully out of date, and sometimes outright incorrect. I have personally been instructed by management to violate quality policy and safety standards in order to meet production goals. This is a common occurrence, and know that if you were to go along with this, management will not take the heat for it with you. I understand that laborers are probably not flocking to Glassdoor for insight, but we build/test/handle the product. We know the process. However, we are not treated as part of the team. If you are a person who just wants to do the job and do the job well, prepare yourself for disappointment. The pay is excellent, but you may often wonder if it's worth it.
