Pros

Good insurance Weekly pay No weekends mostly 40+ hours

Cons

The weld shops are old a busted up concrete floors that rocks literally showing. All the welders are outdated and 20 year old Lincoln machines. They still try and start welders at $18 an hour and work you as hard as they can. No ac or fans. Definitely not a place for a real welder
