12 hour shifts alternating 3-4 days per week. They put you on a line to pack plastic spoons,forks,knives. Very fast paced and it's hard to get them to break you for the he bathroom.

Pros

Their are no best reasons unless you are starving. if you want some postive feed back The only thing I can say is the pay check did arrive on time. Trouble is everyone is a cost reduction object when management screws up.

Cons

Managment was the most incompetent bunch of selfserving fools that I ever encountered.their motto try blaming everything on some scapegoat to save their butts.
