Pros

Great pay, that is it.

Very political. If management would realize root cause of issues instead of finding ways to blame others, it would benefit greatly.

Pros

Benefits are good and you get to meet a lot of people and they come through from either getting fired, laid off or self terminating!

Cons

Mangement is selected on who can kiss up the best. TheyIgnorance of customers needs and expectations. Bottom line is everything HR dept is a joke, they do not want to hear anything negative about manangement, turn their head when evidence of improper behavior is given, safety dept is a CYA for the company and dont give d@#$ about employees. The 4 years I had to work their(ex. York employee) was the worst of my 37yr. experience in the business. Took a lower paying job to just get away from the B#$%S^&*
