Pros

As much time as you could want Not back breaking work Holidays and weekends off Holiday Pay If morning shift, your day ends at 3:30

Cons

Low pay. Not much responsibility Lazy workers. Repetitive work Low pay. Not the right grinders for glass. No one cleans the machines. The Assistant supervisor sends the glass to the oven, but in the wrong order, mixing everything up a lot. Most of the women dress inappropriately, like they're going to the club. Did I mention low pay?

Pros

Benefits were good and employee discount.

Cons

Most equipment is old. Barely have enough employees to do the work out in the yard. Each location is operated independently and doesn't assist other locations very often. Don't expect any decent wage increases. Working on Saturday mornings and sale maybe $500 for the store.
