Pros

It's a pretty consistant 40 hour work week except a few slow periods and a few rush periods. Nothing about the job is difficult until you get promoted unless there is a rush of work. Optional overtime is often available.

Cons

The pay is very low. Starting wage with no experience is less than a dollar above minimum wage. There is a very high turnover rate. At the factory and national level the managers care very little about the employees. I have witnessed plant managers disrespect workers is various ways ranging from screaming at an employee for a minor mistake all the way to one manager lying about shipments in order to lower the weekly production bonus.
