Pros

The paycheck. The holidays(kind of) Partial match on 401k

Cons

You will have pretty much no life . Dont plan to have much family time. 4day on 4 days off. They will swap you days and nights. Change your crews , you will end up being forced working holidays with no compansation for it. But yet union guys get bonus for volunteering. You will be forced to work extra days beyond your 4 day work week and dont be surprised if you get scheduled on your vaction either. You will be incharge of being a purchasing agent for parts, and it will be your fault when there is no spare parts. even if you get denied permission to order. The training is a joke. You will be told to do monthly trainings and do safety trainings even when you were not properly trained before hand. The amount of safety violations in the place is unreal. Just google for local reports from fire and ambulance calls. The fake "book reports" you need to write are also a waste of time at the begining of the trainee process. They do not help and do not work on many levels .

Pros

If you have thick skin and can take hearing racial slurs and jokes all day, don’t mind workplace disparity in treatment and punishment this is the place for you!

Cons

Favoritism played by upper management and supervisors. Front office clerk will spread your personal business if you call off and even twist your reasoning for calling off. No accountable unless your minority. Have to listen to indirect racial jokes etc while sitting in the break room at times. If you don’t have thick skin and can’t take racial slurs, conver

Pros

If your starting out in the job market or just need something untill you find someplace better this place is alright. You get days off during the week and the schedule is mostly straight forward

Cons

You will work many weekends with the 12 hour shifts. The pay is substandard for what's expected. Your treated like a number rather than a person. 12 hour shifts can be tough and the jobs can be very manotinous. The health insurance is expensive and covers just about nothing. In order to use vacation time it's up to the employee to find thier own coverage for the time off, if you don't find it you are not expected to take it. They are redicuously strict on attendance which in this day and age of people doing as they please is understood but sometimes even the best employee can run into problems and might need a little break. This is not a place to retire from.
