Pros

Good people to work with. Safety is stressed, as is housekeeping. A clean, safe manufacturing facility. Good benefits. Lots of overseas business, so job stability and growth should be good in the long term.

Cons

Pay is mediocre to start. The scuttlebutt is one has to 'pay one's dues' for a few years before pay is raised to a level above average. Training for new operators is spotty and sometimes unclear. I spend a fair bit of time clarifying key points of my job so I don't screw something up.

Pros

Starting pay is decent out of college Great benefits package At times can have lots of opportunities for growth Employees are good people

Cons

Retail hours, 12 hour workdays frequent, weekends No work/life balance Supposed to work 48 hrs/week but usually work more off the clock, because you get yelled at for overtime Sales goals are unattainable without huge amounts of luck Dealing with the general public, which means you will get talked down to constantly Constant price increases
