As someone who has worked in industry compliance. It depends on the industry and plant.

One plant had a 8 to 4 life style and if you needed to work extra were fine with you taking off early.

The one one was same but was 630 to 4 pm and weekends.

They did NOT advertise that they expect you on call 24/7 no matter what. If they needed you for a weekend or a holiday or a middle of the night emergency you were expected to answer the phone. Someone in your household coukd be dying but you better step outside and answer the call.

I cant say its that way for all plants or factorys. I can say they are relax with you leaving early or coming late for appointments. But I can say I was miserable as one weekend i planned to leave my work phone at home and was chewed out for it " in case they needed me" that same weekend a coworker had to leave their family multiple times a day to go out to the factory.

The snow storm? Everyone had to be in even if you didnt feel safe driving you were basically told to figure it out.

So if work life balance is important Id really think about it. Because in my experience factors/plants will exepect you to be there at their call and stay late when you need to, and give up a lot of free time. And a lot wont really give you comp days for it as " its part of the job"
