      Great pay but work/life balance is difficult

      Pros

      Great pay with no experience or degree. If you want overtime its there for the taking. You can work with a great group of people but it's hard to find a good group you work alongside, but when you do your bad days are good when you have a solid crew working with you. Room for growth if you wish to promote but it can take quite a few interviews to get promoted

      Cons

      Mandated overtime is non-stop and not knowing when you can go home makes home life difficult. 12-16 hr shifts happen a few times a week. Tough to keep staff with all the overtime so work/life balance is very hard in the current climate with COVID. Health Benefits aren't that great. Upper management says they understand and that they care but in the end they have positions that need to be filled so that means you stay again and again for overtime even when you really can't
