Pros

Good pay , and the 5 cycle shift pattern is the best you can hope for in the industry if working night shifts and lots of time off. Decent direct supervisors whom are handling the same issues from above as you are so they understand you.

Cons

The upper and middle management have no idea what they are doing. This site is living Hand to mouth - quarter to quarter which creates a terrible management strategy that barely sees more than 3 months ahead. Not forgetting the tragic events of June 2024 (google it), the low morale has recently come to a head with the rolling mass firing of staff, I predict a mass exit from the site (likely part of their strategy to cut cost by making the job soo insufferable that they leave voluntarily).
