Pros

You don't have to deal with clients.

Cons

You do have to deal with the constant gossip of co-workers, the favoritism of the team leads and people that have worked there for one or several decades. All work is primarily night shift. Work is being shoved at you like you are a slave. Not easy-going or laid back at all. They will hound you and make you feel inadequate or inferior with subtle remarks. The floor manager will come down from the throne he calls an office and go straight to the board where your statistics (errors, work done per hour, free time) are put on display for everyone to see. He will stand there and just stare at the board like we are his minions.

Pros

Pay is higher than most in the area. Hours are good. Benefits are good.

Cons

It’s very difficult to get time off for anything, regardless of how much vacation time you have. Only 15% of those hours will carry over and you lose what you’ve worked for and weren’t able to use. Not enough floats to cover the territory so people can actually get time off. Pay raises aren’t very good.
