Pros

Flexible Schedule, great management tools, clear & concise benefits package, good pay if bonuses are hit, upper management that will develop their staff, a true family environment. No sick time needed & 2 weeks of vacation each year.

Cons

Some bonuses have too much bearing on other people doing their job in ways you are not able to assist. Must work all holidays & at times a day off can be interrupted by issues at work that result in a full day's work.

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.
