Pros

You do get a pay check

Cons

Don't pay enough for the amount of time and labor. Not a family value company. 2nd shift has no set hours...you walk in those gates and don't walk out until they say so... definitely not a family orientated shift...says occasionally Saturday...best get settled in for EVERY Saturday. Scheduled Holidays... not...you get pay but get ready to be at work. Points points points...no matter doctor excuse...points
