Pros

Pay isn't bad and the work isn't that hard. Stock options is a good incentive to stay. Upper management is always there to help.

Cons

Holidays and almost all weekends. Finding quality people is always a challenge and you usually aren't working with the highest class of people

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.
