First and foremost, the difference in treatment between 1st shift and 2nd/3rd is appaling. If you aren't a first shift worker. . .well, good luck. It is incredibly difficult to get a hold of HR anytime of the day so if you have any problems it is a challenge just to get heard. Even once you get a hold of HR, they take weeks if not months to resolve issues. As someone who has dealt with them quite a bit, they try to do as little as possible (Not to mention, trying to change our contract after it was already voted on). While I am a production worker, I have spoken with multiple supervisors who have also noted how different the treatment is between shifts. People who do the bare minimum are hardly ever reprimanded and the ones who do have to shoulder more of the work to keep production going smoothly. You can certainly bet that the ones who get work done are the first ones to be reprimanded if they slow down at all. Of course the answer to that problem is usually something like "We can't control what other shifts do or don't do" which I feel is a poor excuse for lack of communication. If you have thick skin and can deal with the nonsense that upper management/supervisors deal you, it's not the worst place to work. Not saying anything about corporate or any other locations, they actually do seems to care although I wish they knew what was really going on at our company. They like to talk a big talk about company culture and caring about their employees. But when it comes down to backing up all that talk. . .there is very little to show for it. They really only seem to care about their bottom dollar. If you do decide to work here, all I can say is don't trust a word of what they tell you when you get hired and get to know your union president and officers since HR only seems to get stuff done when they are involved. 

Most departments and individuals are not interested in working as a group; fixing broken processes and addressing problems at the source. Passing the buck is practically a professional sport.
This causes competent employees to have an ever-increasing workload to make up for those who will never be let go of despite their (often bold-faced) insubordination and failure to follow basic, established processes. This inflates employee turnover and filters out all the talent.
The overall pay and benefits are better than average. Do not depend on regular, annual salary increases. You will be given either impossible to obtain goals or problems entirely outside your ability to control will be referenced as reasons why you are not compensated despite the company's performance being on the rise. Small potatoes profit sharing is generally used to justify this as well. Unless, of course, you've taken one (1) or more sick days in a three month period in which case what you receive is rapidly diminished.
If you're especially lucky, you'll get to work with the union which, with very few exceptions, is a menagerie of lazy fools who will abuse the grievance system if you so much as dare to try and improve how things are done and/or ask them to make slight changes to accommodate growth.

The facility before it was purchased by them used to be a pretty good place to work now it's turning into every cliche low quality Factory. It's sad that that's the standard they want to use cheap material they want to be cheap to their employees and their customers but expect the most in return from their employees and customers. The only reason they pay what they pay and our hours are manageable is because there is a small Union. If it wasn't there they would become another cliche 6 days a week burnout Factory. I feel sad for myself and everyone that works there it wasn't for the old schools trying to better the union and work with the company it wouldn't be so bad. Trying to impose work culture from one environment to this environment is only going to burn out the good workers whether they want to accept it or not but all they care about is bottom line. There's a reason why they keep trying to pump in US Temps and cheap labor

The better workers are secure in their positions. However transcendent workers are not incentivized. While the weakest and laziest workers are enabled. But there is a degree of satisfaction in the work. If you are capable of satisfaction from this kind of work. The pay is very nice if you do just your job. But if you come to overachieve do not expect recognition or appreciation.
