Pros

The work environment is fun and you have the opportunity to meet new people everyday. The pay was decent.

Cons

For the amount of work that is required, the job isn't worth it. You're always on call and the employee retention is a joke. You never know if you'll have enough people to work. The employees call in whenever they want and are never disciplined for it. It's obvious that certain employees, even managers are stealing but nothing is done about it. There's no home and work balance. You'll see your employees more than your own family.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
