      Pros

      Can wear personal clothes, no uniform Monday to Friday work days/nights

      Cons

      No discipline for employees who show up late on a daily basis. Company doesn't care if you're injured on the job, only care about their output

      Pros

      People were welcoming and allowed you to do your job without any fuss. Benefits are good. Industry is pretty stable though, so job security is pretty strong in turn.

      Cons

      Very aggressive in terms of its business goals and overall attitude, so if that is not your style, then probably not a good one to work for. Not a whole lot of room for advancement. Work culture is on the lacking side, I think its kind of hard for a big company (upwards of 2000 employees) to really have a culture that builds a lot of true camaraderie.

      Pros

      A work experience that requires physical movement, 2 consecutive 15 minute breaks and a single 30 minute lunch, pretty laid back staff.

      Cons

      Repetitive work, handling heavier objects from greater heights, dusty enviornment! But seriously is worth Medical/Dental benefits, and a flexible schedule system.
