Pros

Certainly not hard work. If you're not looking to be challenged, this is the place for you.

Cons

Absolutely boring. Seriously. I've found employees who've created little nap areas for themselves.

Pros

Co workers and sometime flexibility with hours.

Cons

The pay is very low. A lot of labor work and chemicals inhalation. Getting better, but needs much more improvement. Seems that the company only cares about the sale team or any business position.
