Pros

pay is good and benefits. if you are very very lucky you will get a good supervisor who will be your boss for more then 3 months. Also if you are lucky you will get one that keeps you informed if you are doing a good job or if you need to change something to do better.

Cons

a lot of unhappy miserable people to work with and they are just waiting to start trouble . You have to watch your back at all times. It is best to not be social at all . Just work your 8 and leave. I experienced a lot of bad treatment from some of the other employees . I was cussed at had to listen to nasty talk from a trainer in packing . I ignored it and never reported this. I was afraid the company would not want to here me complain. Some supervisors will treat people like kids and talk down to them even when they are younger then you or same age. This was do to poor training they had never been a boss of any kind before we are like guinea pigs . Employee cannot complain never a good idea if you want to keep your job . The sad thing is when the older woman are pushed out for the new young one by not getting raises anymore or just getting 10 cents a year. they just wanted to retire with insurance. They had no college degree so they were pushed out very sad i watched them cry at work as this was happening. The first I ever saw of age descrimination..

Pros

Benefits...and you'll meet awesome people.

Cons

Um...I could say alot about this. I guess the worst part is that you feel stuck when your a "generalist". Very few get to become a supervisor. The only other advancement is to move to another department.

Pros

The benefits are awesome, the pay is sometimes double what you would find at a similar facility. Expectations are clearly defined, and bonuses are crazy high!

Cons

There is little to no advancement opportunity, and of course, work on the line is boring.
