Pros

The pay, The horizontal co-workers, The benefits if you use them, Incentive pay, if you can ever get it, Weekends off, The life lessons learned.(get back in school, never work hard labor for a living). The pay is tough to put as a pro, because it isn't worth the extent of work that you preform

Cons

No flexibility, Negative atmosphere, Standards are next to impossible to meet, Turn-over rate is HUGE, Long hours(4:30-1:30), HOT(+100 degrees), Supervisors Treat you as a number and expendable. I highly do not recommend e er working in break stock. It is horrible. HORRIBLE. Turn over rate is average of 5 months in that department, on 2nd shift. However, the other departments probably aren't as bad. It's still super hot and there is no air conditioning. Look, I wasn't a bad worker, i was one of the fastest and best, and my opinion isn't the odd one out of the bunch.
