Contras
- Very old facility full of roaches and filth - The union leadership is both hostile and incompetent, adding to a bad working culture on both the hourly and salaried side. Shop stewards hardly know the CBA, the leaders filch dues, and they get nothing done. Union doesn't care about the company, only self-preservation - Management often in a state of panic. Rapidly shuffling managers makes the work pace chaotic and stressful - The bathrooms are criminally filthy and undermaintained - Nothing gets fixed, everything is old and run-down - Extremely cumbersome legacy processes and multi-department checklists bog everything down in the multi-year timeframe
