Pros

Easy work, literally boxing packages or flipping trays of candy onto conveyer belts. Very little if any micromanagement. Above minimum wage.

Cons

Boring, brainless work. Forced overtime when demand is high and long layoffs, especially in the summer. There are "temps" who have been there for 4+ years.
