Pros

Easy going with no pressure. You don't have someone looking over your shoulder and if you need work it's not hard to find. Helping people out and fixing problems to make the lines run smoothly is rewarding.

Cons

The benefits need to be reviewed and improved. When getting hired in and finding out later that you have to wait for almost two years before you get a raise is sad. Having no paid vacation time the first year is not good. People in management and engineers come and go so fast out the door and move on to someplace else show's me that there is know one there to try and keep people. The weight put on people forces them out. Working overtime is a way of life and when you get hired in and told we always work overtime is good but when the ( bottom falls out ) and your down to fority hours for an indeffinite period of time really hurts. Wiating on a hurricane to take the inventory built up and get overtime in order to make more to replace it kinda shows me that the planning needs to be reviewed.

Pros

Convenient, steady employment if you want it. No pressure work atmosphere employees are left to find things to do because there is no real backbone to the management.

Cons

Management does not consider thoughts and ideas from their employees. A very closed minded mentality. No clear written job description, goals or advancement ladder.
