Pros

12.5 hours days. 80/9 shifts mean overtime pay every day. Pretty lax shift managers as long as you're doing your work. I've finished entire series on Netflix during the time between brief periods of work.

Cons

Strict upper management. Constant rule changes to the production line. Forgetting or messing up a step can get you fired. New hires over couple months due to a firing every couple months.

Pros

Work from home period was great but I know that’s not how they operate anymore. My organization structure in corporate marketing was insulated from a lot of the departmental drama and turnover.

Cons

A lot of departmental turnover made following and adopting processes hard Not very competitive for pay Hard to move up the job ladder, easier to leave.
