Pros

Pay and Benefits, some training

Cons

You will be told alot of things to get you hired. You will work very hard, 10 hrs at a time. Alot of bullying goes on, this company does not have your back if you get hurt on the job. Their product comes first, you are just used to make it, nothing more.
