Pros

Worked 8 to 5 and not much overtime. Coworkers were nice. I learned a lot and knowing that the company manufactured things that people use everyday was kind of cool.

Cons

Hard to progress. Not many opportunities to grow. There were a lot of people that were there doing the exact same job for 20 years. Even if you wanted to progress and were high potential, you were limited.
