Pros

The benefits were very good, including shift differentials, healthcare, 401k, etc. Being part of a great team was wonderful and a great learning experience. Pay was very fair. Made lots of good memories there.

Cons

Upper management is very unpredictable and often would not listen or find ways to assist when being short-staffed. If anything, they seemed to make the work life more difficult and expected consistently high output of work despite losing a team mate, leading to burnout and stress. Your experience, including the culture, is incredibly dependent on the teammates and location.
