Pros

Overtime is available for the most part. Good co-workers.

Cons

Management is terrible. They treat you like you are just some gear in a machine even though you are working with highly dangerous materials. No appreciation at all. The "Buddy" system within promotions are always a factor. Hard work always goes unnoticed.
