Pros

Slightly above average pay and benefits. Some oppourtunity for advancement(if you sell your soul) -They do support training and will almost always approve requested training.

Cons

-12 HOUR SHIFTS -12 HOUR SHIFTS -12 HOUR SHIFTS 12 hour shifts make it incredibly difficult to have a life outside of work, it's impossible to find childcare 13 plus hours a day, it'snearly impossible to take advantage of benefits like tuition reimbursement when you work 24/7 12 hour rotations. -We went from an excellent retirement/pension plan to a run of the mill 401k plan after Lam bought us out. -HR Department is laughable and they can't keep good people IMHO due to the managerThe good ones we do hire quickly see who their boss is and they are gone with the wind). -There have been so many broken promises to the hourly employees that the atmosphere has become on of constant mistrust of managment's motives at every turn.
