Pros

They'll hire people out of school and you will learn valuable experience quite quickly. Can be a pretty laid back environment. 3 weeks PTO.

Cons

Barely a living wage starting out, and raises/promotion were not enough to instill loyalty. You'll increase in value through experience, but the company does not invest in professional development. Enter this position with an in-and-out mentality. Safety culture was completely lacking, though effort was being made to improve it when I left.
