Pros

Great support from upper management, training unit manager doesn't micromanage, not bad starting pay at all. Promotions only come from within, so the sky's the limit

Cons

As expected, some long unpredictable hours and whiny associates. With no "offices" for operations management, communication can sometimes be iffy

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.
