Pros

Tough work, but felt rewarding, got me fit. Compensation was fair.

Cons

Its a meat packing facility. You come home covered in blood and fat, and smell like dead animals. I didn't experience any poor management, but I've heard some bad stories. Also no real work life balance. I worked for 6 months until I got a new job offer out of the blue.

Plenty of overtime, reasonable benefits and pay, and management usually willing to listen to employee concerns, within reason.

Cons

Tough working conditions including extreme temperature, noisy enviroment, heavy lifting and continuous movement.
