Pros

The pay is good. The skill set taught is a good one to have.

Cons

You are a number. You will work countless hours while management complains from the comfort of their homes. Nothing will properly get fixed and will be a constant issue for all departments. Safety is key, but only when convenient for production numbers. Communication is very poor between management personnel. You will be belittled on a daily basis. There is absolutely zero care about the hourly employees well-beings.
