Pros

It's a small plant and the work is relatively easy, as long as you're willing to learn, can add and subtract, and work with decimals you will be fine.

Cons

Some of leadership is becoming toxic, morale is the lowest I've seen in a while. If you can get a 1st shift job you're golden. But if you're on 2nd or 3rd, you'll be screwed 6 ways to Sunday at some point. They don't care about people's lives or schedules outside Timken. Switch from 8 hour to 10 hour shifts, sure! Cut out a whole shift and move people around, sure! Go from working 13 days on 1 day off for close to a year to having no overtime at all, running out of work, and sending people home, yep!
