Pros

The pay is great. Benefits are good. Clean facilities with plenty of toilet paper.

Cons

Bullies are rampant from coworkers to upper management. If you report any compliance issues a campaign of character assassination occurs and Union has little power to stop it. Henry Kaiser would be ashamed of this fact. Kaiser doesn't really care about you. You are disposable. The no retaliation policy is really an expect to be retaliated against.
