Pros

Fair medical insurance is all.

Cons

Everything. Very bad pay, extremely dirty ,crude and unsafe work environment. The supervisors are so bad I cannot believe they don't have a ton of lawsuits. Fermentation is the worst of all departments. Every supervisor that has been there over 3 years should be fired or nothing will never change.
