Pros

An excellent place to practice your job interview skills before interviewing at places actually worth working for. You will have job security because management is truly desperate to retain workers.

Cons

There's a reason why, even back when I was there, most new hires quit before their 3-month training period was up. There is severe and rampant mismanagement of both projects and people. As mentioned above, they're desperate to keep you, but they'll do it with textbook abuser behavior. Pay and benefits are subpar for the industry, and especially subpar for how much work will be expected of you above and beyond your job description. Timelines were already unreasonable when I was there, and they seem to have only gotten worse since I left. Enjoy working 16+ hour shifts every day doing things well above your pay grade, only to be told every year, "Sorry, your performance doesn't meet expectations, we don't think you're ready for a promotion" and a cursory 1% raise. Promotions are based purely on how thoroughly you enjoy tongue-washing boots, and how willing you are to claim credit for others' work. This facility has always been "safety last" - spills are common, multiple aspects of the facility constantly malfunction and are never fixed, and training is pure "sink or swim". Bringing up any of the above to HR will earn you some crocodile tears about how they "just didn't know", and if they decide they "don't like your tone", they'll find ways to make your life on the job miserable. This place will burn you out and scar you for life. Most people have stress nightmares about being back in school, or public speaking - my stress nightmare is having to come back to this place for work. There's a reason this facility has had not one, but two class action lawsuits in the past few years for its treatment of its workers (Google it! It's publicly available information!).
