Pros
The advancement to grow when I started was awesome, as I started working longer I realized it was all about who's butt you were going to kiss! *Close to home, always 40 hours with the option to overtime typically. Pay was decent, with the more you knew you were going to make more obviously. The relationships I gained with coworkers on all 3 shifts.
Cons
2nd shift and 3rd got the crap end of the stick, if 1st shift didn't want to run a short order they did exactly that and pawned it off on the next shift. MANAGEMENT- Group leaders were useless, 2nd shift had the best one and the only one that wasn't running around kissing butt or faking documents but still holding their job! Asked an opinion, gave opinion next thing you know your getting pulled into the office. Favoritism, just like high school all over again! If you missed 6 days, you got fired but Joe over there in the same department misses 6 days in 2 weeks can you guess who still had a job? Seniority doesnt mean anything! If you put in for an internal job, you have worked their for 3 years, other person only a year. You know more and have been in the department you are applying for 2 years, and said person for 4 months. Person with only 4 months experience, and 1 year at company got position instead. Given no explanation when denied a position within. Just said "you didn't get the job and I need you to sign this paper" Vacation time, could use more as well as sick time!
