- Repetitive job makes you feel zombie-ish - Job does not take medical check-ups seriously, will be sent back to work regardless of issue.

Pros

The compensation is alright at best

Cons

The management is inept and can't keep their production line straight or consistently running, the labor is physically demanding and mentally boring, the hours were long and the schedule was strange, and the financial punishment for not having perfect attendance is atrocious
