Good job, hard labor

Pros

Flexible hours, consistent pay raise.

Cons

Hard on your body - you wouldn't think so but repetitive motion injuries are common. Room for promotion yet openings are very narrow and far between. Used to be a fun place to work, but they got rid of the fun a while ago. Now it's just a decent place for a decent job if you aren't sure where else to go.
