Pros

Great health benefits. Some really nice coworkers. Some really nice customers too. You're sure to make some great friends. Decent staff discount. Occasional food tastings for staff.

Cons

Feels like a cult. Several Supervisors can be condescending and love to micromanage. Way too much favoritism.

Pros

People are great. Work goes by fast. Enough happens throughout the day to keep it fresh and exciting. Most people are in a good mood and fun to work with.

Cons

The schedule can be rough. Night and weekends. After a while, the manual labor can catch up to you and become painful. The pay is good compartively to similar jobs, but still not a lot by any stretch of the imagination.
