Pros

Got along great with my coworkers. Developed lifelong friendships with people from FS today. Very easy work, if you like pushing a button for 12 hours.

Cons

Insurance premiums kept going up while our yearly compensation was going down. Felt like I never got ahead. Favoritism is very high there. Getting laid off no matter how many years (12) you worked there. Not much work/life balance when you're working the night crew.
