Pros

There's a lot of mandatory overtime.

Cons

Man I really don't know where to start. Mandatory 9 hour days for more than half of the entire time I worked there (which was about 3 years). Management does not work with employees, there is a great deal of favoritism which is unfortunate but common in companies with such unqualified management. Their pay is less than average, their benefits are ok, unless there's a hurricane you will not get a bonus. And if there is a hurricane you will work 60 hours a week and probably Sunday. People in the office get to leave for lunch, but no one working in the factory can leave for lunch. Don't provide any food vendors.
