Pros

Very secure position, low pressure. People often don't get disciplined for poor performance or behavior which can be a positive or negative depending on how you look at it.

Cons

Everything is very silohed and groups can be pretty disorganized/ not communicate well with one another. Because of lack of disciplinary action, workplace culture is loose and can often be very distracting. They focus on metrics like hours of overtime worked and years of time at the company much higher than efficiency because they don't really have a good pulse on what is getting done by individuals.

Pros

If you're under 30, the pay can be pretty decent starting out. Pay and benefits start when you start training. If you like downtime, there's plenty.

Cons

The leadership is incredibly dysfunctional and everything is behind schedule. The environment is literally toxic and you will not get a respirator, just an N95 mask. Management is understaffed and unsupported. There's a lack of seasoned experienced employees, which means the young people coming in aren't being trained or mentored properly. You might have a 19 year old kid doing stupid and dangerous stuff right next to you and there's no supervision. Sick and vacation time is so small that running out of hours is the #1 way to get fired.
