Pluspunten
*Better management than in some previous years.
*Great and highly competent HR Generalist although she works between 2 plants.
*Good maintenance support and troubleshooting from forklift mechanic.
*Very supportive foremen in many areas, the younger ones are very engaged.
Minpunten
*If corporate had decided to keep this plant open, the full potential of this location could be realized and fleshed out. It may have been too little too late, anyway. I can see why they didn't since it has suffered under deferred maintenance and abuse by previous corporate policies and managers.
*Retirement no longer offered.
*Occasional coworker who is a walking legally defined hostile work environment among the work staff.
*The current live-to-work schedule is deadly. It doesn't matter now that the Portland plant is closed but this would be liability where used in other locations.
*Some managers have been split between 2 plants, what I call trying to squeeze juice out of raisins.
