Pros

Its a job. Grateful because it pays the bills but just barely. They atry and make it a fun place to work, but there is little they can do.

Cons

NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. NONE. ZILCH. And d* near impossible to get promoted. Pay is truly little for the work and family sacrifice you do.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
