Well compensated, very monotonous

Pros

Pretty good pay and the possibility of overtime and bonuses, coworkers were generally nice people. Good exercise.

Cons

I am significantly taller than the equipment was made for (11" taller) and thus there were severe issues with ergonomics that, while management said they would work towards fixing it, never was addressed in any meaningful way. It's also an extremely monotonous work environment.

The office area is a little dated and could use an update.
