Pros

Can be a positive place to work if you can get a leg up somehow. The pay isn't great but it's a lot better than retail or some other entry level work.

Cons

Nepotism is hard to get around. There are road blocks that prevent promotions and it's really all about WHO you know. You can be stuck working an off shift for a long time before you gain enough seniority for 1st shift.
