Pros

Good hourly salary, benefits is decent, work not too complicated, good consistency prior the pandemic. Works 4 days on, 3 days off.

Cons

When pandemic hits, orders went from steady to a very slow crawl. Wound up being laid off after only 10 months there. Several months later, someone informed me they are STILL struggling to increase work orders.

Pros

Somewhat free to work autonomously and work the best way you can without too much intervention from senior leadership.

Cons

Enough is almost never enough so very little job satisfaction.
