Pros

Salary and holiday time, while overtime given back without exception.

Cons

Hard, long relentless work. Expectations completely exceed what is achievable. Senior managers just deliver deadlines and new task with little to no notice. Company cares exclusively about hourly staff, salaried shop floor are seen are chess pieces which can be moved with no notice. Middle managers are inexperienced and clueless to the impact of the workload they request from above the shop floor.
