Pros

Pay, benefits and paid holidays

Cons

Overtime never ends, if you are absent you have to work your day off to make up for it plus get a point against you and lose a PTO day, only one person allowed PTO in the area you work in, every time you're off for a holiday you have to work Saturday to make up for it, you can only be absent 7 days in a year ( doctors notes aren't allowed), constantly being yelled at, you're expected to do more than your share of the work and you're blamed for people quitting if you don't do their work for them, handlers act like they don't care if you have a work problem, you're treated like a robot, attitudes by management is shut up and get to work, you're expected to do more than production quota without any more pay, handlers take an hour+ for breaks and you only get two breaks (30 minutes and 20 minutes), people are not properly trained, you're expected to work in areas where you don't know how to do the job and keep up, turnover is high due to poor treatment by management. The only reason I'm still here is because I'm too old to find another job at this pay and I'm retiring next year

Pros

Business hours. You get weekends and holidays off.

Cons

Lack of care for employee wellness. Constant budget cutting causing them to underhire and overwork the existing employees. Employees are often asked to go beyond their job descriptions and do tasks that would overlap with those of a higher pay grade than them in order to avoid hiring more high paying qualified employees to complete the work. When hardworking valuable long-term employees ask for a pay raise they are told they should be there for the passion of the work and not for money. Managers ask employees to do last minute tasks that the managers have had months to plan for then get upset when employees can't deliver immediately due to still needing to meet daily expected production numbers. Employers completely disregard that employee wellness includes being able to afford a dignified life outside of work and being able to keep up with rising price of rent, groceries, and general cost of living.
