      Pros

      ins. close to home for me, as a machanic on 12 hr. shift i get so days off . i like my days off i have time to rest and time wit my family.

      Cons

      its a high stress work place, i really hate it for the mechanics on 8hr.shifts , no time for family or rest , everyday is very stressful i know this because i have worked 8hr. shift before. i hope that someone will bring back 12hr. shift so these people will have some time with familys .

      Pros

      In my experience I have learned more a bout Environmental than i ever knew before and I love it. Managers have a lot to do with that. Pay is good, and the opportunities are great. If you are interested in a career at Smithfield Packing, management will help you get there. Community involvement is great. Environmental issues are handled promptly.

      Cons

      The only downside that i see with the company is that they don't want to spend the money to put enough people, or (the right people) in our department. When one person is out there is no one to take their place and the Supervisor has to do the job along with their own job. That results in not a lot of time for family or to take care of business matters.
