Pros

-Busy and dynamic workplace. -Decent annual pay and benefits. -Interesting job to discuss outside of work. -A decent pension

Cons

-Terrible schedule and work hours. -Management has required discipline quotas to achieve lest they be disciplined themselves. -Exhausting workloads around heavy equipment with little ability to sleep/ rest makes the workplace potentially very dangerous, get death and dismemberment insurance. Kiss your family before each shift. -
