Pros

Good opportunity to learn additional skills. If you can play their game, you can advance.

Cons

Long hours and advancement is more often based on who you know rather than want you know. Especially true of plant management which is an "old boys club". If you start in a poor plant, work six months and transfer to a better plant.
