Pros

-If you are desperate for a job then look no further because the revolving door is always open. -They do offer a basic benefits package. - They do offer a retirement plan.

Cons

- Strict zero tolerance attendance policy that if strictly followed will eventually have the average employee eligible for termination after a few years. - Management will fight to maintain the current way things are done so they can continue their lazy management style. - They expect you to give the rest of your working life to them at comparatively low wages for a cheese plant so that you can potentially have a chance at a large retirement payout.
