Pros

Cheap carpet. There are many plants in the area so you can move around a lot.

Cons

SHAW stand for Sundays holiday and weekends. You will have no life never see your family. Don't get sick or try to push a new idea no matter how long you have worked there, you will get fired. Only people from GA area will get promoted.

Pros

At this point, I can't think of any.

Cons

If you are on 2nd or 3rd shift, good luck making it to 1st. Plant workers reach level 3 and the vast majority will never receive another raise. They will schedule 7 day work weeks at the drop of a hat, even weeks immediately preceding Christmas. Equipment (especially computers and lift trucks) are left in disrepair for months at a time. No one is on staff at the plant to keep the computers working. If you ask for any kind of understanding for a particular situation, forget it. You can work here 5 years or be fresh out of orientation, it doesn't matter to them. Employees are merely files in drawer, numbers to be cut and necessary evils to upper management.
