Pros

It’s an ok job for a recent college grad with no experience. Company is well regarded so a job here looks good in the resume.

Cons

The job could be done by anyone with a GED, it’s kind of a waste to staff a BS in this position. Management definitely has their favorites, you’d do well to identify those individuals and befriend them. After two years I’ve received one raise and no bonuses. I have been told to lie to both fellow employees and auditors. Corporate values are more talk than actual guiding principles.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
