Pros
-Decent pay/benefits (Industry average, which isn't bad for Mississippi) -Good job security (Long-lasting contracts and, supposedly, retention after contract completion) -Start/Stop times (not scheduled shifts) are generally flexible -Plenty of opportunities for voluntary overtime
Cons
-Bad location (Forest is about a 1 hour drive from most population centers) -Does not promote from within unless you're a part of the "Good ol' boys" club -Job/shift you originally hired for will probably change at least once after start date (Shifts include 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 12hr day/night, plus on-call) -Management is more concerned about fighting over who gets what contract bonus rather than focusing on smooth, continuous production -Very high employee turnover. (Most people quit in 1 to 2 years, if not sooner.) -Employee safety and well-being tends to get over-looked. (bad ergonomic work stations, etc)
