Pros

It’s a job and if you’re willing to do overtime it’s pretty much at your disposal.12 hour shifts gives you more days off and gives you more opportunity to make money if you decide to do overtime.

Cons

Working conditions sucks very hot in the summer time ,little room for advancement,it’s like pulling teeth to get Human Resources to do anything and you will not be trained well...starting pay about 13$ don’t expect to make anything more anytime soon unless willing to work overtime.
