Pros

pretty good benefits, full-time even though the work I do can be finished well before 40 hours, good training and experience for when you find a job with a different company.

Cons

I have to basically stretch out my day and take my time doing all the work so that I can reach the 40 hours and go home. My direct supervisor is very rude and gets angry when I ask questions, leading to a hostile work environment where I don't feel comfortable asking questions that are important. The other people I communicate with seem to be very disorganized and as a result I've had to do a bunch of requirements more than once. I was told when I was hired that I would receive 3 weeks of vacation time after my second year of employment, but it turns out that it's after 5 years of employment. I often don't feel physically safe at work when handling the chemicals we work with, for example I often blow my nose at the end of the work day and the result is black snot.

Pros

Good team workers for the most parts with large work loads and lots of hours in a week 60-75 in which adds up in my 401K and helps pay my bills - bad on body and home life.

Cons

You don't get the training in all areas of the job. As part of the job is very intense hard labor in a HAZMAT suit, general warehouse, and office work.
