Pros

Health insurance, 3 weeks vacation, free food, uniforms, manager outings, advancement if you're lucky but beware as you move up the workload is greater

Cons

99.9%work/.1 life, no balance they own you. Pay plan is for the birds, they charge you for all shortages. Get ready to work all holidays, phone calls in the middle of the night.

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.
