Pros

2 years now at 4.700$ pre tax for 154 hours a month. can earn up to 6.470$ pre tax a month if I do extra shifts. raises are given every year, and hold up to inflation. A nice summer and christmas bonus, way higher than any other job I've had. easy to switch department or team if you don't feel good in your current team. 5 days on / 5 days off. CEO is a good man, cares about safety.
