Pros
Days off during the week.. and 3 day weekends (every other one).. Supervisor's will work with you..Benefits package..Bonus's pay and profit sharing..50hr weeks and 37Hr weeks..Can use 2 vac days to get a week off during a short week. Lots of OT available. Paid breaks. Uniforms are maintained by a contractor. vouchers for safety gear including boots and eye protection. Can move to other departments once your foot is in the door.
Cons
12 hour shifts, lots of walking, Upper management is a little disconnected from the tech's and their managers. Will propose new methods of testing without consulting anyone who has to do the work. Frequent Overtime..Mandatory overtime to cover the other shift. Can't plan for weekends off unless you schedule a vacation day to have off..Paid time off is accrued on a 8hr basis while our plant is the only one who works 12 hr shifts.. Same goes for holiday pay and other incentives..Paid sick days are given but are still counted as occurrences and will cause termination if you use your 5 sick days.
