Pros

Fairly progressive small town with lots of money floating around Decent food, no night life Lots of people from many places around the globe in the same place - easy to make good friends with very different background Less than an hour to Indy, Louisville, Cincinnati Lots of opportunity to help the community (here and big cities) Excellent place to raise a family - no issues with school system here like many suburbs around large cities.

Cons

Backward-thinking people still around (but they are in hte suburbs of large cities too) No night life at all, unless you like it low-key - or make friends and hang with them Limited restaurants, but that makes going to city on the weekend even more rewarding Management either lives in Indy or has its own clique in town - hard to 'break into the circle' Lots of people commute, and no good system in palce to carpool or rideshare Property values didn't drop here as much as elsewhere - propped up by company money?

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
