Pros

Good health insurance BCBS, 401k match, dental and vision. Overtime potential, hourly wage great for area average. Friendly coworkers.

Cons

Mandatory/forced overtime. They don't tell you this during the hiring/orientation process, and will catch you off guard! No notice whatsoever of last minute OT forcing. If you can handle being pushed around all the time by supervisors and management, then this is the career for you. Also, expect 6 day work weeks with short notice.

Absolute sweatshop !!!!

Pros

Can not think of any.

Cons

Where to start.... This company constantly violates OSHA regulations concerning machine guarding, hazardous liquid handling and so forth. Management uses intimidation on employees , and the reason they are able to do so is because they knowingly hire illegal immigrants. I know this for a fact. Supers and upper management are aware. 12 hours days rotate between day shift and night shift and you don't know if you're coming or going.I walked off this job , first ever , because I refuse to be treated like a slave. Best move ever. Managers take long lunches, but you get 15 minutes. Worst job ever.
