Pros

Competitive Salary Decent Hours Good Benefits

Cons

Management was horrible. My boss was nasty, cruel, and constantly undermined everything I did. They are also pretty cheap about reimbursing your expenses. Difficult to get perks like company car, credit card, etc. Not a lot of direction or training. Had a horrible experience while there.

Pros

Your paycheck is good. Will not bounce (over-draft). Room for advancement you grow, learn at your pace, to include cross train into a different field of work.

Cons

Long hours 12 hour shifts hard work and you must preform what you promised. No bull-shit if you say you can do it you better be able to do it. Not for lazy people.
