Pros
Horrible when compared to hourly (Union) workers whom generally make MORE for their High School diplomas when compared to those with College Degrees. Pay is comparable to local area rates or a little better, but company is severely cutting back on Pay and benefits every year for salary, while Pay and Benefits go up for Hourly (Union) people.
Cons
Just had a massive 'cleaning of the house' again, in which a swath of Salaried people were fired, while hourly personnel where hired in. Management is awful, always messing up and quick to blame the staff. Management is constantly blowing budgets and getting audited. Which in turn make it difficult to get anywhere, especially when your filling out reports for information over a year ago because Managers are constantly getting audited for failure to track spending or even know what their staff is doing. Won't see a Manger unless they are trying to blame you for something they messed up. High turnover rate, most people around only have 2-4 years in with company. H.R. was moved offsite a few years ago to cut costs, the only time H.R. is there is when there's a problem. H.R. is mostly all new too, they fired a lot of the old H.R. people during the move, and the new H.R. personnel are young and quick to agree with awful/ruthless Managers. Those that are there longer are indispensable (cannot be fired) and are utter miserable, or are butt-kissers to inept managers. Anyone that is talented is abused and made to work constant free over-time, while the incompetent do almost nothing. EVERYTHING (YES EVERYTHING) you do is watched and monitored and criticized. Unions get a free pass to do whatever they please, while the Salaried positions get abused. Management takes out their aggression on salaried people for their inability to speak up against Union people. Company says speak up and tell them about problems, which is only used to single out those with an opinion and have them fired.
