Pros

Decent benefits If you're willing to move, advancement can happen Horrible economy, it's a job. If you do your work and keep your head down you can manage to get through the day most of the time.

Cons

Terrible pay and raise structure Ridiculous hours for no reason at times, then lack of hours when they're really needed. Management is rude, uneducated and part of the good ol' boy network. Large workload for small pay. No connection between employees 'on the ground' who actually interact with customers and upper management.

Pros

Management is very professional, They are responsive to complaints and do not micromanage. Allow you to grow and take care of things you need to without much oversight. Fellow Employees are helpful with training and covering shifts when needed. Overall everyone seems to care about the work and each other. When things are running well, the job itself is not too stressful.

Cons

Can be on night shift Starting out until there are openings on Day shift. Dusty environment, dangerous work with highly combustible Liquids. When equipment has issues, it can be very taxing.
