Pros

Private stock options and 3 1/2 weeks paid vacation are the two best reasons to give it a shot. It can be rewarding for sure, I'll be the first one to admit that.

Cons

You're just a number to your superiors, individual circumstances be damned (forgive the mild profanity here). Favoritism (not so much as in career advancement as in personal interaction) runs rampant. Lots of inappropriate relationships among chain of command, regardless if upper management wants to admit it.

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.
